RE: 1st Jet Flight - Avonds Rafale

30% nitro??!! I dont' know if I can get this anywhere in the UK.

But I think turbine is the way ahead so I'll not spend a lot of effort in trying to sort the DF. I'm just glad to get the first...

RE: 1st Jet Flight - Avonds Rafale

RE: 1st Jet Flight - Avonds Rafale

You could be right mate - but the Magnum is one prop plane that I would keep. I doubt if any jet (even turbines) would beat the Magnum in a vertical climb. It takes about 10 seconds to get beyond...

RE: what aircraft would you like to see kitted?

In order of preference:

Tornado IDS or ADV (or both - and with operating wing sweep)

RE: Approach Speed

Gents,

Thanks for your feedback. I'll be flying a UAV at >100 oz./sq. ft loading and an approach speed of around 50 mph (IAS) and was a bit worried. Your responses give me some encouragement.

Approach Speed

Gents,

Just wondering what is the highest approach speed (approximately) that can be comfortably and safely handled by a human pilot flying a largish jet (say similar to Y/A F-18 twin or large...

RE: Skymaster Rafale

RE: PPM, PCM ?

Gents,

For me, the issue is'nt to do with PPM versus PCM. I have once experienced complete lockout: i.e. a situation where a perfectly working system suddenly appears to die and all further...

RE: MagnumR question

Rudeboy,

Thanks for the feedback - just checked the Master airscrew site and, yes, I probably am exceeding their operating limits. Will change to APC prop & ally spinner ASAP. I've not yet...

Avonds Rafale & MagnumR

Hi Guys,

I'm just putting the final touches to my Avonds Rafale. Since my experience was mainly fairly sedate helis and warbirds, I thought I'd better get used to high speed flight before...

Servo Question

Hi Guys,

I'm hoping someone can help with some advice on servos.

RE: F15 Receiver/servo power system

Hi Nick,

I read with interest the posts on opto-isolators. In my opinion, opto-isolators are a waste of time and money for this application. Their use will result in an overall reduction of the...
