Name this plane
Well... Since i'm the one who took those pictures, i might as well say what i know (or think i know)...
The two jets are "JeRo-Jets", and they are sold by a Norwegian R/C fuel-manufacturer here in Norway (JeRoFuel) as turbine-trainers...
The website for this model can be found here, but it's in norwegian. Here's a translation of some of the details:
Length: 196 cm. (6ft. 5in.)
Span: 162 cm. (5ft. 4in.)
Weight: 7,5-9 kg. (16-20 lbs.)
Thrust: 5-12 kg. (11-27 lbs.)
The model has large flaps, dorsal engine-intakes for reduced FOD-risk, and takes off in 40-50 meters (130-160 ft.) on grass.
It is designed for springair-retracts, fuselage is fibreglass with pre-installed wood, booms are fibreglass with pre-installed wood for fitting to stab and wings, and the wing is ready to cover/glass...
The price is $760USD incl. VAT (24%)...
I've seen both of the ones on the pictures fly, and seen the black one take one hell of a beating as it went off the runway and into a field with 2 feet of grass, resulting in a sudden stop and minor damage to a flap-linkage. It flew again when the epoxy had cured... The grass is visible in the background on the first picture, and the jet was just about to takeoff when the wing caught the grass ...
I'm considering one of these as my first turbine-model....
Have video of both of them flying (maiden for the white one) if you're interested....
...and i'm in no way affiliated with this jet or the company selling them... Just looked like a nice jet IMO...
