Default RE: Lambert turbine test

Great, thanks for the invitation but I think I can't make it. Kerosene is getting expensive by January 2009...

A small correction on the details stated : I have checked in the evening (for other reasons) the ECU parameters of my three Kolibris, and they all have slightly different set parameters. Two motors are set at 240.000 and one at 241.000. In reality, they run at about 243.000 judging by the readouts of the GSU. My TwinJet is VERY fast (Martin said he hasn't seen such a fast one as mine, don't know why mine is, but it really is ballistic.)

Is this K&A L-39 the kit model he had on display in his stand ? He had a fully painted one and a grey one, both with superb finishing (and above all extremely light) ?

PS. The Falcon25 at JetPower with installed retracts in his stand, was mine.
Of course they ask you to join the demo flights when you did not expect it and did not bring your radio ! [:@]
If you still can, ask the Kolibri AutoStart version, and you can install a tiny on-board gas tank (available from Digitech), so you'll have a full autostart model. You must install a manual gas flow restrictor to set a smooth and controlled gas pressure (I used a brass one they supply in the shops for air retracts) of it will spit flames as long as the gas valve is still open in combination with the kerosene supply.

Success !
