I'd like to see you purchase the manufacturing, distribution, and sales rights to the Flying Machine so a bunch of us on here would be able to buy an ARF version that was done correctly.

They look great! So is that a Jett 50?

flying88 02-27-2024 01:37 PM

Yes that's a Jett 50 in my brothers. mine has a O.S.46SF and my Dads has a Rossi 40 gold head.

Dave McDonald 02-27-2024 02:04 PM

It would be interesting to know if there is really any flight performance difference between those three engines.

flying88 02-27-2024 02:20 PM

its going to be very very close! lol but i will keep everyone posted as time go's on.

flying88 03-01-2024 10:35 AM

J330 04-08-2024 06:56 PM

489 big block,
Dub Jett 2 stroke...
you sure do like things that move!

By the way, i used to sell equipment trailers for a living.
That Diamond C is a very well built trailer. You do your homework very well.



flying88 04-22-2024 04:58 AM

Not hinged yet. there's clear tape holding rudder, ailerons , and elevator on. but very very close to being 100% complete.
