Default F86

Does anyone make a F86 that I can fly with a Ram750F?

I converted my BVM F86 ducted fan over to the 750 several years ago. The current kit is even better suited for the turbine use ( check www.helijet.ca projects section ). Many are flying with the P80 / P70 I would suggest that you also look at the Trim Sabre. Slightly larger it too flys well with the RAM 750. Charlie Hissom out of Spokane WA was sure having fun with his last summer.
Another one to look at is the Fibreclassics F86 ( Composite ARF ? ) - although I do not know if it is in production.

I have a Trim F86 with a JetCat P80 for power, it makes a nice combo. The plane is a bit larger than the BVM F86 and would be more suited for a Ram 750 or a P80. BVM's Sabre is a great plane for the 12-16lb turbines. trim makes a bypass for the 19lb and the 12 lb turbines if you are interested.

I have 28 flights on my Trim F86 and it's a great flying plane!
Good luck,
Ken......................

geneh- I have a Fiber Classics F-86 (see pics), this is an excellent flying model IMHO this airframe is the ideal size F-86 for any 17-27 lb thrust turbines. The original protoype for the F/C kit won the World Jet Masters with a 12 lb+ thrust JPX turbine some years ago now! so your RAM 750's 18lb thrust would be near perfect for this size model. For example my F/C F-86 weighs 22lbs wet and flies perfectly with my TJT-3000 restricted to 20 lb thrust. Although currently this kit is apparently not available, I was recently told by the importer that the F/C F-86 moulds were being updated and the model would be available again soon.
That said there is the odd one or two that have been seen for sale here on RCU at times, so if you are interested in the Fiber Classics F-86 especially, try placing a wanted add for one here on RCU, I dont think you will have to wait to long for a reply

Don Kanak is going to come back out with a large F-86. From what I understand it will be much more prefabricated model as compared to the earlier version he once sold. The measurements are about 72"X72". Maybe Don can chime in here with a little more info....[8D]
