Default Whats your Jet Power Shopping list?

Its barely 2 months away... and I dont know what I want to buy there... Looking at the P20/opus combo as one option. But I certainly want more

I usually make up a list of all the items I am likely to need for the coming year. I will miss Sandor (Digitech) not having his usual large discount offers. I used to spend a lot with him. Nobody else usually offers much discount at the show, so I probably will not spend as much as I normally do. I will come prepared to spend, if there are good offers.

P20 and Opus is not a great combo Ragz.
The P20 is thirsty and you'll get a very short run time i.e duration approx 3min
The Lambert is the right choice
Ya the P20 may be cheaper but way too much power for the Opus even the Full carbon version.

There doesn't seem to be as much interest in Jetpower this year, judging by the response to this thread. Most years, any post about the forthcoming show would bring loads of responses about how everyone was looking forward to going & what they planned to buy. I guess money is tight.

I think everybody is either on holiday or very busy earning it

I'll be there with a stand again, and from the feedback I am getting directly via my site there certainly seems no lack of interest this year I can assure you

We will have two new jets, both due to fly, one for P20 or 90mm EDF - called the Stinger, and a 2m span composite trainer with classic jet looks for P70 upwards called the Gryphon.

Hopefully a select range of accessories including the new CAT's which are a UAT device with easy mounting options and attractive pricing..... details are on my site (www.gbrjet.com)

Personally I'm looking for a P20 suitable glider - and hope to pick up a nice airframe for some powered soaring back in windy old UK

See you all there and drop onto the stand to say hi - GBRJET

Interrest is there, but I have not think of it by now... I'm putting my big Futura in order to flight for end of august, so I will have some stuff to buy to enhanced it after first flights... Like smoke pump or little stuff like this... I need a Tamjet gear failsafe also...
No big project for this year so I will have a look on stands during Jet Power to see if something inspires me... And enjoy wonderful flight demos and huge effeweizen beer !

You obviously haven't seen Ali fly his all carbon P20 version yet It's plenty strong enough and 3 minutes at full throttle is probably enough, otherwise you will run out of breath lol. The performance increase over the Kolibri is staggering, in fact the kolibri version now seems slow in comparison.

I'm looking forward to my first Jet Power after hearing so much about it for so long.
