I am thinking of getting a roo for my first Turbine plane.

1. How much fuel are you carrying on board?
2. What turbine are you using.
3. Who makes a good tank for this plane?
4. What retracts are you using and why?

Thanks!

I have a 2 liter soda bottle plus a 16 oz. header tank.
I'm using a JetCat P-80.
See above.
Robart Roo retracts / struts and Glennis brakes since they are the BEST!

Thanks

I have a Roo with the following equipment:
Radio JR 10channel
turbine Ram 750f
Retracts struts Robart Roo
Brakes BVM
Tank Turbine Connection 100 oz
Everything has worked every flight
Who makes the best? if what you have works for you than you made a good choice or installed it correctly.

GOT A ROO FARM HERE!!! MY SON AND I HAVE 3

all with the following equipment:
Radio JR 10channel
turbine amt merc
Retracts struts Robart Roo
Brakes and wheels BVM
2 switches
2 jr 1400 mah packs
Tank Turbine Connection 100 oz
bvm smooth stop
volt meters on all bat systems ( including the turbine )
air guage ------cant tell you how many mishaps ive seen because they didnt have the air guage....way too many didnt know they had a leak....mme i always know ----cause there it is....and that means time to lube the smooth stop o-rings ( which is usually the culprit)

please note the roo can take a p-120 ( 27 lbs) but to do that its a good idea to not cheat the servo man.......too many builders are doing just that....the reason they split the elevons on the new composite roo was to increase the margine of safty and create redundancy....we have 7 8411s on the planes ( 4 elevons--2 rudders----1 speed brake ).......yea im over engineered but we can slap our p-120 on one of them and muscle it up with anyone

Does the Turbine Connection have a web page? I would like to take a look at the roo tank. I am thinking of buying a roo here where I live ( it has 4 flights on it and is not the composite roo). It carries 78 oz of fuel ( which I have been told is not enough).


Thanks for all of the replies from everyone!

Gene,

1. 100 oz. plus a BVM UAT
2. RAM 1000
3. Don at Planesplus.com has the kevlar tanks (Turbine Connection).
4. Robart with Glennis wheels/brakes. They are strong and work well.
