Scratch built jet
 

A friend of mine built me a sport jet kinda looked like a bandit.Had a OS 46-Turbax-spring airs. Weight was 8 pounds RTF. well to say the least it flew very well was very fast for a 45 sized jet tracted like a pattern plane.Well we got about 10 flights on it and the showoff that i am was doing a low pass about 2 inches off the deck hit a little mound of dirt and completely destoryed it.:(Just wanted to tell ya Brian SORRY. so go ahead and post some pictures of before and after!!

a little CA and some paint, it will be fine

What about the building techniques involved ? Fuse seems as if it's made of foam ?

RE: Scratch built jet
 

That's too bad, it was a good looking plane.
I wish there were more balsa jets out.

RE: Scratch built jet
 

foam wing cores and the upper nose section(hatch) was foam core. Balsa din't want to form right with out it. used fiberglass tail tube with no inlet duct. all used equip.

Looks a lot like either a Skyburner or a Force 10...
