Well i have had this jet kit for about 2 months, but just started building it a week ago. All togethor, i would say that i have 4 days of sheer building and it is ready to go. I learned from the trials of my first one, which i sold. It definetly sped up the process. However, Tam has a great product here. The instructions and components are top notch, and the plane is definetly a dream to fly. Heres the pix. Will hopefully maiden it this weekend if i can get a new battery pack by then. (my old one must have a bad cell). Nick

RE: TJ Thunderbird
Hey Bob, I sold it because of a crap landing due to a windshift on flare. It ripped the rightt main gear bearer out and that was it. I sold it to a flying buddy up here as is for 300 bucks plus two packs of hysol:D.
Tam, I will clean your shop all you want for a kit;) (A-4 MAYBE). No retracts, just a kit. Later dude |
RE: TJ Thunderbird
Ouch sorry to hear this, it was a nice model.

RE: TJ Thunderbird
Thanks, good thing is it with a fellow club member so i will see it fly again. I had 25 flights on it and they were flawless, sometimes i hate the atmosphere. Really though, the gear doors were intact, the paint was unscathed, and everything worked great. When the gear pulled out, it side-loaded on the nose, ripping the bearers out there too. All in all it was a weeks worth to repair, but i dont have the time to disassemble, repair, reassemble now. I built this one faster.

RE: TJ Thunderbird
