Hi Dave,

Yeah - this is as good a place as any to ask about propjets.

The Patriot is a popular choice. It was taken out of production a while ago, then about a couple of months ago it supposedly came back.

Gordon

The Patriot is indeed available through Tower Hobbies. Another really good one is the Great Planes F-4 if you can find one. You will have to pick one of these up at a swap meet or in the for sale section. They are sometimes listed on EBAY as well. Another good one that is discontinued is the Direct Connection F-18.

That's what I originally thought - but I checked the tower hobbies website before making the above post, and found out that they once again list the patriot as discontinued...

If you can't be bothered with too much building, there is an ARTF F-4. There are also a few plans for pushers and pullers. I've seen plans for a MIG 25, F-15, Vigilante and a Frogfoot. Let me know if you want details of the company that do the above plans(it's here in the UK).

Hi,
I saw the PATRIOT kit at Hobby Hut here in NJ last weekend. Also, it's being advertised in this month's issue of MA.

Gordon.
I didn't check the website but I just got a Tower Talk yesterday which has the Patriot in it. Calling them will be the best way to find out if it is still available.

Kangke Tigershark 60 ARF
Kangke Tigershark 40 ARF
G&P F-18 Hornet (kit)
Cermark F-16 ARF (Not sure if still available
Weston Magnum ARF

Where can I get the F18 Edgar. Nice model bye the way!

The Extreme Speed Prop forum would be the place to go to see discussions on this sort of model.

The Patriot would appear to have sold out at Tower. Other places may still have stock.

As well as the ones listed above, Cermark has an F-20 ARF and
Direct Connection (www.directconnectionrc.com) has an F-20 ARC.

The F-18 is from G&P sales (website http://www.rcairplane.net./)

Thanks for all your help everyone

Dave,
I wouldn't call it new. I have one in my shop that I built about four years ago when the kit first came out. It is a good, solid flyer....very smooth and fast. Easy to build, and has loads of room inside for the radio installation.
Mine has an OS .61 long stroke and retracts.

Mine has a YS-45 and flies great!

Patriot ARF...

I have a Prop driven (.60) Gnat that I picked up at a swap meet a few years back. It is suprising close to scale with a fiberglass fuse, flaps and retracts. Haven't flown it though, as it seems very heavy. I have no idea what kit it is, as I received no docs with it..

It's the pic on the bottom...

Razor, do you have retracts on that F4? Could they be installed?

Look at the thread in ARF titled 'F-4 PHANTOM RETRACTS'.

i was thinking of buying on of the cermark f-20 tigershark prop jets, i think the .40 would fly just like a patriot and the .60 may also. Has anyone had any of these? They look to be good for a sport plane just to have around.

Does anyone have a price on the G&P F 18?

If you don't mind scratch building, check out the line of Pavel Bosak's propjets.....Mirage F1, Jaguar, F-4, Mirage III etc, etc.
I built the F1 and it was a missile (while it lived), and I have the plans for the Mirage III (.60 sized pusher). The Mirage III is a pretty decent looking semi-scale model.

Peter

SCRATCH BUILDING ??? Does that mean it gets finished with a lot of scratches on it?? RUSS

I think the G&P F-18 is at $289.95

Where Would I get plans from Pavel Bosak? I'm interested in the F-4

I have experience with a lot of prop jets but i did have the Direct Connection F-20 tigershark (ARF). which flew great and had alot of ducted fan feel , it does take more runway than most propjets
and landing you'll just have to feel it for your self.
over all a great aircraft and cheap , makes a good ducted fan trainer (speaking for myself and others may agree with me ).
best of luck to you.
