Re: BVM Rafale - twice the fun, or double trouble!??

Need to finish up a few items still on the Rafale but they will have to wait until after Kentucky Jets. Hope to meet some rcc members there! Anyone going?
Here's the fwd equipment tray area. Just need to add a second mini data analyzer.

Awesome, can't wait. They look very easy to setup and run! At first i was worried but not no more. Looks simple to install too!

Crossing fingers my jet will be here next week

Besides, the AMA here in the US limit total static thrust on twins to 50lbs, unless you go through additional clearance.
oh same one as me Did you plug them into a y adapter on the throttle channel ? did you have to do some fancy calibration so they spool at same time etc etc ?

It's not that big.....
I haven't really given much thought to the weight....with a pair of 140's does the weight matter??
It doesn't feel light, but then bvm's scale composite jets don't, but it feels very rugged, especially the gear!

The incoming jet is about twice the size and half the weight...for a single 140. New thread coming soon....
