My Enforcer
Hi, Myles,
My Enforcer has weight around 5 kg dry and 5.5-7kg wet.
The MW54N has around 4.5kg-5kg thrust. I measured it by spring scale on the ground, thus it might slightly more upto 5kg.
I would recommend to start by new kit if you wish to build Turbine Trainer, because the kit from Balsa USA is quite cheap around 100 bucks only. Covered it by Monocote and Urethane clear.
I did all planking for the safely of high speed but try to keep the elevon tight without slop. I put two JR digital servos and quite good in control.
In low pass with maximun rpm of 160,000, it looks too fast to chase it even by eye hehehe! It flies like bullet.
I decided to re-design fuselage to make more room for fuel tank of Dubro 40oz. and some mechanical retracts. Also I made nose a little longer for nose gear and room for electronics. However, I did faithfully keep the elevon as guided in manual.
I hope this is helpful to you.
