Default Facet 2300 Flies !

) The Facet 2300 had it maiden flight today . It is also my first turbine plane ! It turned out to be easier than I anticipated . Its very stable with no bad characteristics. Great turbine trainer . With full flaps the landing was slow and easy ! Great design, Kerry ! Picture attached

Congrats Jeff!

It turned out to be easier than I anticipated
Don't tell that to the guys at my field. They all think I'm a great pilot and I don't want them to know it's just the plane.

Believe it or not, you're going to like your Facet more, every time you fly it.

I think Jeff's (sportflyer-RCU) is powered by a Simjet 1700 and mine is powered by a JetCat P120.
