I know about the Pilot RC and FEJ, but are there any decent scale corporate jets like a Citation out there for turbines? I've seen the video from Europe of the Citation CJ2 that was beautiful but haven't heard of any kits. I guess you need to be a scratch builder to get one of these.

Theres a lear from mark frankel, otherwise that and what you listed is all that is available commercially. But, anything is possible with the right amount of money. Lol

Depends what you mean by "decent scale" there's this.. http://aviation-design.fr/?rc-jet-model-falcon-7x

I'm guessing the Citation was Ali's, its an old Jetwelt kit, I'm not sure if its still available.. http://www.plushaus.info/jetwelt_modell_galerie.html

And speaking of Mark Frankel, check out the You-Tube video titled;
Gulfstream G-IV prototype .
Its our second test hop, and the "best" scale Gulfstream on the planet.

O have a buddy that has 2 graupner Epic Victories, he bought both last year, they are fairly rare, but can be had. And they fly great, and when painted are beautiful.

"Decent scale" meant something that could handle small turbines. Frankel's Lear was made for OS91 ducted fans.

A couple of K-45's would work out beautifully in the frankel Lear jet. They are just under 3 inches in diameter.The frankle design was kind of on the heavy side anyway so 18 pounds of thrust wouldn't hurt it.

KingTech G series, a true Fuel Start turbine, will start and run on Diesel, Kerosene and JetA. G series have both solenoid valves built into the front cover, with a single fuel feed that eliminates at least 8 fuel connections upstream to the turbine, making a clean engine install a very simple task.

There is a german company that makes a fantastic full CFK / Herex Lear Jet ....

2.6 meters wingspan
2 engines 13 lbs >>>

That FEJ GV has got to be one of the most hideous models ever! They made an absolutely beautiful wing, fuselage, nacelles, landing gear and then stamped the most horrible removable canopy panel ever! its like placing Janet Reno's face on Adriana Lima's body.

The rear fuselage with the nacelles and vertical fin has to weight around 25-30lbs alone as well! The horizontal stab was another 6-10lbs. By far the worst design/layup and assembly i have ever seen in the one i was looking at.
Paint job was nice from a distance, other than none of nacelle stripes being lined up due to them putting all the thrust reverser clamshells in the wrong spots....

That ebay address is closed now. Was really hoping on something like Ali's as in CJ2 Citation with straight wings. We call them "slotations" in full scale but I think that would be great for the RC world. Frankel's Lear is another option except I'm not a really good builder. I'm an "assembler"! Went to that website and it said, "turbine version will be available in 2003". Wow...

ebay address is still working perfect .....
If it is not working for you please go to
www.ebay.de and type 231790295733
into the search field .....



BTW: We can build it for you .....

Don't know what I'm doing wrong. I thought it was my work computer so I went home and tried on my iPad and still get this.

But that Lear is the type I'm talking about.

EDIT. Just got it up and running now. Thanks.
What sized turbines? Looks like a beautiful kit!

From your pic the mistake is that you are still on ebay.com and not on ebay.de

two engines from 13 up to 22 lbs ...

Patrnflyr,

(Frankel's Lear is another option except I'm not a really good builder. I'm an "assembler"! )



And you don't think there is going to be any building to get the Lear jet on eBay ready to fly?? Just sayin!!!!!!!!

Yeah. They're both out of my league

Where there is a will, money can make a way. Im busy for the next 2-3 months, but a custom build on something like that lear is possible.
