Thanks for the compliment. I ran out of time last summer for the maiden, Work got in the way of play time.! We need to do through preflight and c/g check and it's ready for the maiden,
Hopefully The Wisconsin winter will be short this year and early May we can get the maiden in. Will post photos of the maiden. Just started an old BVM F-86 builders kit that we are converting to turbine. Plan to start a build thread shortly.

i mounted engine Inverted? Does this matter with turbine?

Typically yes.
I believe it is because it interferes with the glow plug for ignition,
Simple, just turn it over.

My son and I have our Turbine waivers and are having a great time flying this jet. 13 flights and we are close to
having it dialed in. Playing with flap settings for take off and landing. Last two flights were best yet.
Highly recommend this jet for new comer. Great flying bird, no bad habits.
