I am really starting to think about getting in to turbine jets.

I am looking for a kit that flies good and is not too expensive. Doing some searches i came across a kit called the Jurassic Eco. Has anyone heard of or seen this kit?

I did a search here and came across nothing. Here is the link and some pics. It is an all wood plane for a 12 pound turbine and retails for $250 which fits my needs.

Any help will be awesome

The Jurassic was originally a series of building articles in "Jetmag" last year.
Many examples have been built from the drawings released by the magazine, or from the kits
that Modellbau Ulrich produces.
There have also been a lengthy forum discussion. http://www.rclineforum.de/forum/thre...&hilightuser=0

The plane is reported to fly well, and I hope to have my own ready by this autumn.
There is also a smaller "Jurassic DDS" available for the 12 pound class engines.

the jurrassic is a beginner model certainly. It has very good flying characteristics. The construction of the fuselage is carried out with plywood formers and covered by balsa and the wings and tail units have a styrofoam core and are planked with balsa. The model on the photos (Amarican flag) weighs 8.8 lbs without installation. It is painted with car paint. The wing load is very low.

Thats what i like to hear. I want a jet that can go fast but not real fast (120-150mph) and also fly very slow, while still having a aerobatic potential. I am surprised no one has one though? Are they relativily new?

Thanks

If flown from asphalt and built light, I guess a 12 pounder would do, but it is a pretty large aircraft.
The smaller Jurassic DD has a wingspan of 52".
The prototype flew about one and a half year ago, I think. You have not seen any in the US, because It has not got any publicity
in other than german magazines, and have not been marketed in the US. There are also relatively few
who thinks of buying a full kit, with balsa fuse for jet use?

Hey Michael!
Your American flag looks great, except that short canopy you have put on it. I think it needs to follow Dirks original lines,
and go all the way forward to where the nose begins to slope.
I made my own canopy, and tried to get the "Gripen" look on it.
