Re: Sport / Trainer jet kits or plans Guys, the AV8R is most definitley NOT a good plane for a kj66 based engine, as it was designed around a 54 sized turbine and will not take the weight. Geoff, even with a less than 1:1 power to weight, a jet can be a blast to fly. My R54 can attest to that, as could my own home built jet powered by my old kj i built, until it hit a tree. Even though the R54 is also designed around a 54 based engine, speaking to Bruce, he said some have successfully flown with a kj66 sized engine. AJC |

Re: Sport / Trainer jet kits or plans I have an old Boomer XL kicking around but it to big for a 18 lbs of blow, I do know of an PST Reaction that need some small repair (flap fell apart). I believe it that a j66 in it. You may think building one would be fine but an airframe that you know the C G and all the setting will make the first flight a good one . Last time I talk to him he wanted about $400 for the airframe and you could drive to get it (no shipping and you could see it). sent me a "PM" or call me 519 786 3897 home. Brad "Maddog" Metcalf and I will find his phone # if you want it. |

Re: Sport / Trainer jet kits or plans You could probably notch the trailing edge of the R54 without taking to much strength from the wing. The wing has two massive spars at approx 30 and 60% of chord that take flight loads. The wing is unbelieveably strong. I assume that's what the modeller did who mounted a P80. |

Debating between the R54 and the Jetmach Supersport. The SS is about the same size and shape but the fuse can handle a p80. It has 2 part wings, can hold more fuel and already has intake ducts which I like the look of. Thanks Geoff |

Re: Sport / Trainer jet kits or plans I've owned the R54 as well. Fantastic airplane. But it appears your engine is based on the KJ66. It might not fit stock into the R54. The airplane was originally designed for 54mm turbines such as the Wren, old RAM's, and small Jetcats. |

Re: Sport / Trainer jet kits or plans That would be deans second one with the p70 in it. It's a great airframe with the wren or a p70 in it, or any 18lber you will have a good time building it and even more fun abusing it just ask dean,cliff or Paul or me or anyone that has flown one it's a great no stress airframe. |
