Thanks to Danny and the team at “Rocket Factory” ... another spectacular jet. Will be maidening it early this week and will report..

David

Looks nice! I like the servo cables!

Empty weight with the 166 in there?

This one is 23.5 lbs with a full UAT and an empty tank.
We have built two others. One at 23 lbs with a Jet Central Lynx 130 and another at 23.5 lbs with a Jet Central Cheetah 160 and smoke system.

Soooooo, the 166 should be just barely enough power ;)

Originally we had plan for a Jets Munt M200XBL... but based on Danny’s recommendation we opted for M166TS

Will maiden this week and report

David

Maybe!

Chap, chap Bob time to go designing EDF ducting. We need electric 125mm 16S version now.

Beautiful model! Congratulations David.

Today I put 4 successful flights on the U2... after a few clicks the jet was flying on rails.. slow flights and very fast (199 mph) flights were perfect. Again thanks to Danny for another perfect jet...

CG question
 

Hello. I have just purchased one of these and found discrepancies with the manual as far as cut outs for servo arms no big deal but it makes me wonder about accurate cg of 190-200 mm is this a good setting

An Ultimatum coming up! Such a beautiful Aircraft!

First Video in the series.

Video #2. We cover the tail, pipe and turbine installation. In depth about turbine centering and Pipe to turbine spacing.

Wings Part 1

Wings complete with the exception of gear doors.

Very nice work. I love making chicken salad out of chicken S.....T with the broken wing and lights :)

Thanks Kevin!

The Ultimatum is getting closer to completion!

Hey Jonathan, you realize that every time we watch your videos many of us want to buy whatever product you are building. You should make a deal with the manufacturer and offer a way to buy the product. I'd go for it almost every time!

Now I desperately want a U2.. Don't even know how to buy one as the product page disappeared from aeropanda...

Those product pages are in the process of being updated. This should be completed soon. In the mean time you can look at the available options here: https://haviacion.es. Then call or email us and we’d be happy to take your order.

Love the vids. Be aware when you lean nose strut forward steering can get a little weird. If using steering gyro it won't be an issue but have experienced issue myself which required nose steering gyro

HAHA. I know I have that effect! It's sure fun being the instigator! Some manufactures get it and help and some...... not so much.

Thanks Kevin. I had a fellow email me yesterday stating to check out Andres Leoni's FB page and look at the ultimatum Album. Nose gear gets mounted on top of former and eliminates all of these issues. It's designed that way.
Next video it is changed and I end up using blind nuts on nose gear.

Glad I didn't need to angle/shim it.

One more video after this one and the U2 is Complete!

Thank you so much Jonathan for your FANTASTIC video series, you are doing jewels for all of us👏👏
About HA web page, we have a new site and is, IMO, very easy to see the models and variants. You can see different colour schemes just doing click in colours circles.

Please go the the web page and see what is going on, and what will come😉😉

I have been eying this one as for my next project .

What colour scheme you have , none of the choosable ones show the exact colours you have? I like the lighter blue with orange.

Only thing I would like to change from appearance is that the plane would have a slightly bulged canopy upwards to imitate bubble canopy and would give it a bad ass look. ( similar to Havoc/ voyager).

Hello Ceeray.
Do you mean the blue/orange option of U2? This is possible to do yes.
About canopy, we are working in the new U3 and yes, will have a little bubble and air intake also, this will look really cool😎

Would it be doable to change 2m version canopy a bit too if its seen to be an improvement ? :)

3m version is too large, 2.5m long fuselage is my limit nowadays due transporting issues..

At the moment we can't make it in the factory, but you can do it by yourself👍👍

Thanks! It's easy to like and promote these Jewels when they are some of the most clean and well thought out planes I have come across!

The U2.0 is complete. The doors were a major challenge but they worked out great!

Very nice job on the assembly of the U2. I love the hinging with the tubes and wire set up!!!!

Thank you!
