Scott.

boomerman

Euan

Good effort and thanks for the photos , how about a large dremel cut off wheel to trim your thrust pipes ?

cheers Euan.

Euan,

Done a little more ... you planning to do a twin P20 project?

Scott.

RAJ

wow looking mint dude!!!! wel done scot keep it up euan are you going to buy the gulf stream from hobby king?? i was going to buy that first but it was out of stock so went with this one instead i had in mind the setthrust a340-600 with 2 p20s in ther painted in virgin atlantic, i decided to leave that one as i am flying from grass and the engines were to close to the ground i didnt want to spend so much and have trouble at the field, on grass im sure this bird will fly fine do you have any pictures of your old cessna citation with the easy jet livery? keep the pics flowing scot sweet work also follow the link video of me flying the vortex 32 yesterday

Nice flying Raj, some nice low passes ... 30 flights and counting eh? Those TamJets really help dont they ....

Vortex looks very stable, wonder who sorted this one out

Scott.

RAJ

Scot those tam jets are really good they really help on landings!😃 the vortex flys fast and handles well! Its now done over 30 flights spme pne from notts sorted it out lol😜 like always cheers � dude you have always done well sorting out planes such as Tristar,vortex, boomerangs, now the citation great work and years off experiance i am trying to get hold off some struts and trailing link legs for the eflite 80-120 size electric retracts does any body knw were I can get these from??

Euan

Raj,
I have a G500 sitting in my garage and it may be the next p20 twin in the UK? depends on its owners cash flow ??,
Your learjet is next in line when my build mojo returns ,
cheers Euan.

siddus74

Euan,

What flyings you on about fella? Got a B in everything!

Scott.

RAJ

Euan il buy your g500!! I got 2 p20s sitting here 😜 lol that's a nice plane 2 p20s will look mint in that!! The Lear jet I believe is to small for the p20s what do you think about an a380 or 747 with 4 p20s????? Ther was a chap selling one in the estates a while back that was a 747!! Without any electrics ideal for 4x p20s any how sure why don't you move up to Bham?? We both can fly them together and have a few �😃, what do you plan to put in the Lear then?? 90 mm we mo tec fans and 2x het 2w25 or 2w23 on 6s will be a good electric set up!

Euan

Rajj,
The Cessna is not for sale , your lear will have two low cost 4s 70 mm from HK in it along with some electric retracts.I have already fitted the retracts and added a battery hatch /a 747
Raj your vortex flies very well and a nice runway to use , move to BRUM ?? no way too near my parents in Leicester still i miss flying at Hucknall and years ago at Goosedale,
cheers Euan,
ps Scott next fly in at Scottish airshow in April,

Wow great modeling siddus74!

Nitroplanes, HK this is a great thread!


this kind of project has "Rob Janiger" written all over it.......P-20s, a bunch of Brits to copy, chance to buy Hobby King stuff, use a coke bottle fuel tank.

I cant wait!

RAJ

Cool guys Citations looking good

boomerman

certs mean jack!! so many great pilots out there that fly great!, such as raj. its only a piece of paper at the end of the day. im not any amasing pilot, just an average pilot(with an A if it means anything!lol) and just go out to enjoy flying! raj and myself would sail through a B cert.

siddus74

I got both the B's for a very specific reason, the first was for the confidence and self belief it gave me to move on to larger more costly models and the second was because it can open up many oppertunities such as attending other meetings and fly in's. I would be nieve to suggest that all the best pilots have a B cert, but now I can if I want fly one of my nice scalers on the Nationals flight line and that is something I have always aspired to do atleast once ...

Ive met many other pilots up and down the country due to having the B cert, joinging others for there open days - for me they have been most valuable networking etc etc

Just my opinion of course ...

Raj 'is' a very confident Pilot ...

Scott.

Euan

personally i have witnessed some poor unsafe flying from b cert holders but i still feel if you want to or intend to fly a turbine model in the UK at a public show or at a club you should have one,

I have an old 4 quart pot that full of stuff like that, awesome!!!

siddus74

Put 3 great flights on my Starfighter today but still found an hour or so to work out the fuel tanks mountings .. looks about right, what you think then Euan?

Scott.

Euan

Scott,
You certainly are getting on with it, i have had some good news regarding the G500 build and the owner has ordered two p20s so i will start the conversion next week.Scott who supplied the pipes please? also i have thought about a single tank with twin feeds to the engines via two header tanks ??
cheers Euan.

siddus74

Your project will be starting soon then, the pipes were from motors and rotor mate.

Scott

RAJ

Great work euan! Have you got any pictures of the g500? It's a nice model I like the swept back wing with winglets! Do you plan to stick eflite retracts in ther?
