Default Isobar

Who is flying an Isobar and how long did it take you to get it after you paid for it? How does it fly? what engine set-up are you using?

I'm building my second Isobar. Anything from a Ram 1000 to a P-120 to a pegasus and the likes on up to a P-200 will work just fine. I bought my latest one at a jet meet they had the kit in stock with them, I understand there is a couple week wait right now for a kit, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. The guys at RPM are straight up.

Isobar's fly essentially the same as a BVM Bandit and the likes. The airplane will slow nearly as much as a kingcat on landing, it's purely simple. This jet will do every trick in the book and then some. You'll love it.

It will be significantly slower on the top end than a Bandit with comparable thrust, but is the most fun I've ever had with a turbine plane!!!

Hey Woketman, I was wondering when you were going to chime in on this one.

I have seen Woketmans Isobar fly, and it is a good flier. That is why I recently picked up an Isobar kit. I have not built it yet. But may start on it some time soon.
