OK the pictures opened up fine this time.
Excellent project and thanks for the video and pictures... Is it still flying and are you thinking of another jet to put the Kolibri in...
Happy Flying

Yes, the twister i still flying, i don't even have a flightcount anymore.
The next project is a 2500mm U-2
I got the drawings from butch, the guy that designed the B-1 bomber featured here on youtube.
I adapted them to my needs, and they are lying here, milled from foam, waiting for me to finish a cessna citation twin bizjet.

Hello Polarit!!! Do you have any build pictures??? I would like to see how you mounted the turbine and maybe you have the gear mounted as well...
Thank You
Yes i do, al lot in fact
the link are in 'more info'
ThankYou for your reply, I will try it again...
Excellent!!! Nice one, flies really super and can slow fly well also...
Thanks for the video...
No, the outside of the turbine is not that hot - the only place that has the tiniest hint of melting is the on the tail, just above the turbine.
And it's really a tiny spot - smaller than 2-3 cm2
Just AWESOME!!!!!!

Depends on yur experience
The twister is larger than the funjet, so it will fly slower, with a lower wingloading.

you know i bet you could do ground take off with the dolly looking thing.
It could, but now it has undercarriage, take off and land on wheels are much better.
does the turbine make the jet tail heavy like the real ones???
Just wondering wat were you injecting in before the flight or just tell me wat you have to do to get a turbine started. Awesome plane but doesnt the epp melt from the heat?
Propane gas, to heat up the combustion chamber, before the fuel pump starts
no problems with heat
amazing,

Thanks you all.
Now, the next thing going to happen is the installment of undercarriage, as the engine has enough thrust to ROG
Now that's how I wish the EDF sounded! Very nice.

What power it has.
That makes any twister stand still.
Now just for some WOT passes to show the power of that motor :D
