My turbine Scimitar

This is the turbine Scimitar I just built, its seventh flight. I think it might be the first one in existence. The turbine is a JetCat P20SX. The conversion is ultra simple and was done in one evening.

Thats so not E-Flite anymore, overpaint it on the fuselage at least XD

So you swiss guys thought... vector thrust, we don't need that crap, let's just put a decent propelling system on this. Very nice one

@ForceM1782 Vector what?! The motor mount was strange anyway and had to be maintained in place by a servo...

The paint is a bit of an issue, it is not Kerosene proof, but then it sticks incredibly well to my fingers... This is my training / beater turbine airplane, so I will not bother too much about the paint.

Thanks for the compliment :-)

Expensive hand warmer! We all wish we had the money and know how, great job!

Come to Queensland, its warmer!

[Shomelin]

@Paulchoppysoo I would love to come to Queensland, have already been there a few years ago, Mount Isa, Emerald, Bundaberg and its Rhum... I like Australia very much and will certainly come again :-)

@Purepain76 Hi Purepain. The turbine is expensive, it is about 2600.- CHF or 2600 US$. The best is to ask you local hobby store or look at the online offers. For the turbine video, I have to wait for better weather, winter is back and it is snowing and cold again... sorry. But I will make one, promised.

Hi Vital I saw the pics on the forum great job and thank you very much . I had a few questions like how much it cost for the turbine set up without the cost of the radio and plane , I already have them . And also yOu said you may be willing to post a video of how the turbine itself starts ,stops,runs etc. Thanks buddy
