RE: TBM Shock Jet
Flew the SJ with my new Rabbit on board. Loved it. I have a good balance with 2 A123 6.6 and one A123 9.9 in the nose, added no weight. I have the 101 oz tank and flew around 1/2 throttle for over 8 min. did 3 touch and goes and landed with around 1/2 tank left, GREAT. The throttle response is almost like a EDF!!! Having trouble with the pics

RE: TBM Shock Jet
Have the Rabbit mounted and almost plumbed in. 1? for the Rabbit install. I have the starter wires against the Jet Tech tank a bit. Is this to far forward? Any pics of a Rabbit install?? I think I am good where it is but just looking for second opinion. Will get some pics this weekend of mine.

Anyone with the P70 had to shim the motor? Also, do you have any pics of your install? Does the fod screen fit without surgury? [/quote] see page 17 and page 27 for my P-70 install. You will have to grinde the Jet Cat mount away to where all you have left are the two most inner holes left. I bought another mount from Jet Cat to do this mod.

RE: So what would you do in this situation?????
[quote]ORIGINAL: Warbirdguy You missed my point. You guys are hammering a senario that didnt happen. The guys P51 ran into the jet, his prop caused two chips of paint to happen. Now, where does that mean he has to pay 10k for a jet? LMAO Lets take the ''jet'' out of the picture. What if it where a H9 Corsair that got hit. And punched a hole in the covering material. Same thing, its just a hole that can be fixed rather cheaply. Now, before you start sounding off with how much a custom paint job cost, I paint and build myself. So dont say the whole jet will have to be painted over. Thats a bag of crap :) A ''professional'' could fix those scratches in a few hours. What I see is the same old fight between jet guys and prop guys. I do admit the Pilot of the P51 could have been more ...appologetic... But, like others have said, he basically was attacked by onlookers. More of my personal feelings, If I had a hanger of 10K jets, the LAST place I would line them up in a row would be 30 feet from the flight line on the tarmac with no safety fence between me and the active runway. I mean, come on guys, your beggin for an incident. Its a bad situation that happened, but it was predictable. Also, Andy, what the hell does WWYSD mean LOL [/quote] amen

RE: So what would you do in this situation?????
[quote]ORIGINAL: ARUP A buddy of mine was there and saw it happen. The pilot of the 51 was a total @$$ walking away. As much as the situation sucks, just walk away. 'Karma' has a way of making things 'right'. Life is too short to worry about @$$holes like that. Any event he attends just let it be known, vociferously, who this guy is and what he has done in the past. Other pilots will avoid him like the plague! P.S.- I had a guy shoot me down and another guy stepped onto an airplane. Neither would 'man up' when confronted. [/quote] Shoot somebody down, pay up in full even if you have to take a loan to do so. Stepped on, heart felt apology and offer. after the heart felt I would not take cash for an accident. I would even go as far as to think to myself what could I have done to prevent this and limit my risk. Kinda like if I am taking my plane apart and lay the wing down in the grass I am taking a chance it will get stepped on. I assume that risk by laying it there instead of standing it up or putting it in my car. If I lay the wing down the risk is all mine not everybody else at the field.

RE: So what would you do in this situation?????
[quote]ORIGINAL: Chris Smith Look this is simple. just set aside a bit of cash so you can man-up. About $5K-$10k is probably enough for most situations. Maybe a bit more if you do jet meets. That way you won't have to worry about 300lb club presidents chasing you down. [/quote] Are you kidding???

RE: So what would you do in this situation?????
[quote]ORIGINAL: Robert_Ellis My $.02: 1. The man in the straw hat screwed up. It seems he had adequate time to at least kill the engine even if the the crosswind was too strong to taxi in. And the first words should have been ''Oh, crap I am sorry - who owns this jet - let me talk to him.'' Then offer something to make up for it. 2. The Jets were really in a vulnerable place as far as I can see from the picture. There was no fencing to stop errant airplanes. If it were my plane, I wouldn't have it 30 feet from the flight line without any fence between me and other landing airplanes. 3. If you guys were so close to see it happen, why didn't somebody yell or run out and grab the plane by the tail? I know if I saw that coming at my plane, I'd be doing my best to prevent a collision. When I was first learning, I had the plane rolling right at me and couldn't find the throttle cut - I just put my foot out and stopped it by the spinner. At my field, there are some guys that when they are flying, I pull my 100cc airplanes back next to a building and I never take my eye off their planes when in the air. It doesn't sound like this guy was one of ''those'' pilots, but everyone makes mistakes now and then. As a side note, I race with SCCA in formula continental. If some guy crashes into you - you're both damaged, you each repair your own car. It's racing. If it were any other way, the sport would spontaneously combust into a bonfire of lawsuits and die. At one race, during the pace lap before the green flag dropped, the car in front of me spun off into the gravel, then shot back across the track and hit me hard. The race hadn't even started yet and he had no reason to be going that fast to lose control. I ended up with damage that cost me about $4000 in parts and I repaired it myself. The guy was a blood-sucking lawyer (not that all lawyers are mind you) and could have offered to help me out, but ''sorry'' was all I got. That's racing. The bottom line in this case, the guy should have offered him SOMETHING and apologized profusely. That's what I would have done if it had been me. [/quote] Well stated

RE: So what would you do in this situation?????
In light of this thread and the (collect restitution guy's) I will no longer fly at these events. It is sad that modelers expose their models to incident and then expect payment. If I park in an unprotected area I am exposing myself to risk. My decision to park there dose not expose all around me to risk of paying for my model. I sorry, it seems to me we are looking at this 180 backwards. It may have been told that it is ok to park there but that does not mean you are protected from risk. Reread post 57,65,66.

RE: So what would you do in this situation?????
[quote]ORIGINAL: edh13 [quote]ORIGINAL: causeitflies [b]My point of view... from five feet away.[/b] This was just one of those unfortunate accidents that happen occasionally. The owner of the jet took the high road and moved on after realizing that no compensation would be paid. As for the Mustang pilot, he did not try to sneak away like nothing happened as some have insinuated. In fact he waited for pictures to be taken before moving his plane. And he didn't just land uncontrollably into the pits. As a matter of fact he made a nice wheel touchdown right in the middle of the designated runway. But as sometimes happens with a small ruddered warbird, the 5 mph crosswind got the best of him as he slowed down. So he WAS in control, right up until the point where he WASN'T LOL. He explained the obvious, that the wind caught him and he couldn't straighten the plane out with full rudder and even used full aileron too. Maybe he should have given it throttle to get some air over the rudder, or up elevator to plant the tail wheel, or kill the engine to lessen the damage and not use aileron which could make it worse (adverse yaw). But whatever, the accident happened. So next some guys start on this guy about his piloting skills and how he should learn how to land an airplane. He felt insulted and at this point it started to get a little heated and he said the jets shouldn't be parked in that area. I not so politely pointed out where the flight line was and where his plane ended up. The owner of the jet was not around when all this happened and someone went to look for him. The Mustang pilot started to walk away and was told to wait for the owner of the jet. I don't think he realized that the owner wasn't among the guys giving him a hard time so it's not like he was trying to sneak off. When the owner showed up the two of them had some discussion which I was not trying to hear. So if the guy was a jerk after that, I have no idea, as I left the area. I'm not trying to stick up for the guy but some facts and a little empathy help to explain the situation he was in. [/quote] As usual the other side of the story comes out. And this time not by the other principle but an honest bystander without a dog in the fight. My initial reaction to the OP was a size eleven in the canopy. But after reading this and inspecting the first pic in the OP. My opinion (which was requested) has shifted slightly in favor of the Mustang guy. From a small but vocal slice of our hobby that wastes no opportunity to remind how expensive these models are and how much work is involved and how experienced you have to be to even own one… A group who has complained that spectators should not even be allowed at jet meets let alone be near one as to damage it… Can you state honestly THAT IS THIS A SAFE PLACE TO PARK YOUR MODELS??? I saw the word reckless above. Perfect caption for this pic. [/quote] My point also. If I park my model there I except the risk of accident.

RE: JetCat P60 Oring Replacement DIY
My P70 started to make noise over about 8 starts. I thought it was misalinged but the o ring has worn out and I am getting the grinding sounds. Seems that when the ring goes bad it will were down the compressor nut and cause the starter to stick. I am sending the P70 in to Jet Cat for new o ring and spares and a new compressor nut. Next time I will make sure the engine is mounted so the starter mounts are straight up and down so the starter wont misalinge under its own weight again. Seems like there should be a aftermarket aluminum starter housing and mount to prevent this from being a issue????? Freddy[:o]
