I have a JetCat P-220Rxi in mine. These are actually around 230N thrust, there are a few Weston Park videos of me flying with CARFs own KT 260 version…there is hardly anything in the speed of the two models. I have also flown against JetCat P-250 versions, again straight flight nothing in it…they might have been out dragging me on long vertical climbs, but it was minimal.
Highest GPS speed I have seen on mine was just over 300mph and that was not a full on max speed test. Real world the Bolt and Ultra Flash can be into the 290-300mph range

Hello everyone,
I'm a little confused about the duct of the turbine. I use a JetCat 250 Pro S - do you have any experience with the temperature? Doesn't the turbine get too hot in the confined space?

I’ve put in an order for a Bolt in the Victory scheme. The manual calls for 20mm servos for most of the flight controls and 20/21mm for the flaps and rudder. Will 21mm servos fit all the way around? Looking to run spektrum A6350’s and are 21mm in width.
thanks!!
thanks!!

I used mks5l hbl599 all around and omg servos for gear doors. All servo pockets are easy to reach and widen except the flaps. Still reachable though.
The front door must be a mini servo.
I don't think I widened anything though.
I should have sold you mine. I'll never fly it.

Either would be fine. JetCat 220 is 230N and flying against 250 and 260 N powered examples speed is almost the same, only vertical long lines the 260 will out drag it a few feet.

The harder I try to get free time...the more people visit me! Today has achieved little, but the last real construction was finished last night when I fitted the nose gear servo plug & socket. I mounted the plug in the fuselage and socket in the nose. The plug was mounted first and two strips of masking tape laid back to back were tasked together with spray mount. The position of the plug was cut through both layers, then the nose installed. Separating the two layers allowed the tape to stick to the nose and once removed the exact position of the socket was cut...lined up first time 🙂
Hi, does the servo plug give you any trouble over time, would you recommend to install the same plug or just manually insert the servo cable to fuselage?

I have mounted a MULTIPLEX plug on the nose, socket on the fuse, same location as the yellow AMASS plug shown. This gives me possibilities for a beacon light on on top just behind where the clear canopy glass ends. Just slide on the nose to the fuse, works great 👍

Finally got my bolt in the air, loved the way it tracks and speed! Has anyone installed lights and afterburner to your bolt, can you share pictures if available?
