Need some flight charactaristics of the Tom Cook twin engine F4 with OS91/Dynamax power.

Any other information would be helpful as I am looking at maybe building a plane that is partially started.

You will find the Phantom very easy to fly, no bad characteristics. You can slow it to a crawl at landing. I flew mine for 8 years in competition and fun flys. I only used OS 65's with mine and it was plenty of power and no engine issues over the whole time I owned it. It is a little more work to build than todays Jets but I think you will enjoy it. Good Luck with your project. Scott

There's a guy around here that had one with OS.77s. On the first flight of the airplane he lost one engine right after takeoff. He made one circuit and landed on the one .77. I have one of the F-4 kits, but I can't decide if I will build it for twin Dynamax or for single turbine. I don't think Tom recommends turbine-izing his kit.

Hi Guy's

I have a Cook F-4. I have a P-120 in it. We will put our first flight on it on Saturday. It is my third one. The other's were ducted fan's. I talked with Tom about putting the turbine in it. The plane has been strengthen in many area's and he said just keep it under 160 mph. So I will post more info on how the flight goes.

Hi Tam-------- Yep I told you.

Dave

Hello
I have a Cooks phantom and i have a Ram 750pr at 21 pounds of thrust i think this will move this big jet around no problem it came out at about 18 to 19 pounds hope to trim fly it saturday i will have it at Tennessee Jets it is done in the playboy bunny color sheme.

Hi Danger:
Is this the one that Bob Forenie was selling? If so is she still in great shape?

Dave R

No this is from a kit from Tom Cooks but it looks like the F-4 that Bob Florenzie had,a matter of fact if memory serves me the F-4 he had was a Tom Cook kit

Yes it is a Cook kit, Can you post a picture of yours? I hope you have a great flight. They do fly nice. I like them because they are a little bigger than BV's

OK..... NOW everybody...

show up at sunrise s at woodland to see Daves F-4 Fly..

. sounds like a good excuse for an impromptu jet gathering

You are Soooooooooooo cold. I might just switch it to Sunday. You know,,,,,,, when you will be in church ,,,, Oh by the way, are you still at work

I'm driving up both days just to watch.......

Hey - you're supposed to be shooting clearcoat on your Bobcat this weekend, so that you can start flying your own aircraft for a change !

Gordon

Yes Dad.......

Now Bob you be a good lad and do what your Dad says.
I will post some pics later on the plane. Like Norm Goyer taught me 15 years ago. Always do your pictures before the first flight

Dave R

LOL.

Good luck....actually, I don't believe in luck....fly well Dave!

That's exactly what I've been trying to tell him - but you know what kids are like these days .... :boxing: .. no respect for their elders. These young whippersnappers with their need for instant gratification, yet without the willingness to put in the effort needed ... bah, humbug, and all that kinda stuff.
Oh geeze .. I think I'm turning into my dad !

I'd come up and watch, if it wasn't for the fact that I'd get lost and never make it to the field...

Unlike Bob, I do believe in luck - and I wish you the best of it.

Gordon

Thank you,,,,,,,,,,,,,, you will be there for the F-18 flight
