Default How many turbine powered jets do you own?

I was thinking about how the turbine thing just kinda snuck up on me. I never thought I'd own one...now I have 2 and am thinking about my next project. This isn't any kind of an ego thing, I'm just interested in finding people who have the disease worse than me.

In a week or so I'll have 4 jets.

Cangaroo with canards/ SimJet 2300
Skymaster F-15/ SimJet 3000
ViperJet/ SimJet 3000

My Skymaster F-18 Hornet is just around the corner. I have not decided on the powerplant yet, but I think it will be either a Simjet Nexus(4000?) when it's available, or a Frank turbine 70/16 with 18 kg. thrust.

Hey Bob:
Not a sickness, you work hard, you love your family, Momma knows were you are ( not in a bar ). And you love the challenge. Better than golf,,, OOps might get nailed on that one.

Sounds to me like you're trying to gather data to show to Kendra, so that you can say "Look honey - all of the other guys have at least 3 turbine jets...."

Hi guys!

Actually I fly my Strikemaster (www.jetwelt.de) with P-120 power
Av8R waiting for the PST J-600 which is installed in the:
CASA C-101 (ready but not flown yet) and waiting to change from PST to P-60
Kangaroo getting a new turbine-mount and new paint waiting for a test-turbine from a friend
Fiberclassics F-86 still in the box waiting to be build
A few parts (formers and ribs) for an enlarged Palmer-Cougar 1/5th scale

Well, and still alot of ideas and wishes, but running out of time and money right now....

Hey Chris.

My F-35 is based on the Oakdale Aircraft kit. But a lot of it is scratch built. Contact Russ Ahlberg at www.oakdaleaircraft.com . I hope to be airborne at our meeting in Holstebro/DK i July.
