Ravill......google is your friend. If your looking for german jets, use the german google.de and click the "Seiten aus Deutschland "

You would be suprised how large the german jetworld is. I think the language barrier is holding alot of them off RCU.



I swapped the P-38 with a used Eurosport.
It was just too bulky, and was very difficult to fit in my car.......the Eurosport fits no problem, but the P-38 is just too wide

The new owner flew it twice, before it spun in. A spinner worked its way loose in flight, and killed the engine......the good engine pulled it into a spin before he could react. Damn twins

I,m in Florida at moment flying a Booster 160 at a local feild in a big Boomerang XL pushes this very easly. Mine in the starfighter makes 17.4 kg of thrust thats 38.36Lbs at 123,000 rpm this was tested at the GTBA testday in England in November 2006. any questions phone me +447976281655 they are priced at 3350 euros inc tax

HI joe
I,M over in Florida at the moment flying one of these Graupner Booster 160 engines in a pals big Boomerang XL and its going very well. I understand from Graupner Germany that the engines can be purchased direct form them in Germany,service back up is to follow watch this space. We understand and know that America is a service nation and we want to offer the best we can in this department we know the engines are very reliable but there is nothing like fast and local servicing.
Any more ? phone me +447976281655
p.s. sorry about the landing on the video that was flight 3 c.g. still to far forward, lands great now. and also now has full cockpit pilot ect just got to weather it up when i get home might bring it out to Florida jets in 2007 if we can get the show on the road.
Regards Mark Hinton Team Hammer engines.

Mark,

Just saw the F104 video! That is one of my all time favorite planes, I'm actually working on having one painted on the back of my rolling toybox. We're looking forward to seeing you and Anita at FL Jets!

Best Regards, Bill & Kay
