Glad to hear you're making some progress Carlos. I forgot that you were the one who started this thread way back in 2008. My Turbinator is still going strong, and has over 300 flights on it.

I used the tri-gear set that's made for the Top Flite Bonanza/Mentor. They are based on the 630 Sized Mains. It was not a difficult mod to get them to work, and they have performed perfectly after...

I used the stock thrust line and it flies perfect. No trim change needed for speed changes. Keep in mind that I moved the wing up into the fuse 1/2" to help it look more like a TS-11 Iskra. This...

And when you build it yourself, you can modify it as much as you like!

RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

Looks great Bob, once you get some military markings applied it will look even better. The tip tanks really add a lot to the plane and give it a distinctive appearance. When will you be doing the...

RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

I got it straight from Jet-tech. It has an 80oz. capacity and is much like the one shown on the site for the composite ARF python. If I remember right I called Jet-tech and they recommended the...

RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

A P-80 will work great. My Rabbit has 19lbs of thrust and does not overpower the plane at all. Depending on the age of your P-80, your right in that thrust range. The fuel tank size may be an...

RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

I'm sure the crow helps add some drag to make landings easier. I modified my wing for split flaps. I like the drag provided by split flaps on my other warbirds, and wanted my first jet to have a...

RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

The banshee would look good. The wing has a distinctive look that would be hard to duplicate without a major change to the turbinator wing (straight leading edge, tapered trailing edge). The pods on...

RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

Your plane looks great Shepp, I like what you've done with the wing tips. I'm sure it will fly as good as it looks. Make sure you post a flight report this spring. I got 75 flights on my Iskra...

RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

because I modified mine a bit I added some weight to it. It weighs about 23lbs without fuel. I run a jet Central Rabbit in mine (19 lb thrust) and it is about right. Good for about 140 mph (nose...

RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

Thanks Noah, I have not got to fly the jet on our runway yet. I'm looking forward to getting it done, maybe this Sunday if the weather is good. I hope to have it at our Warbird fly-in, and maybe even...

RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

I did not have a strong head wind. I neglected to hold down elevator and for some reason the plane decided it needed to take off early. It surprised me, so I quickly pushed the nose back down. It...

RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

Here's a link to a video on Youtube showing flights 2 and 3 for my modified turbinator. On flight 3 it jumped into the air early (I forgot to hold some down elevator) but it handled it with no...

RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

I finally got a chance to maiden my jet and everything went well. I even managed to get a couple more flights in so I can get a feel for the plane before attempting to land on my much shorter home...

RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

Still waiting for some nice weather and coordinating the maiden with the people who will sign me off. I hope to get in the air sometime early in the season and get my waiver. It was nice enough to...

RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

I thought I'd post some of the final photos now that the cockpit is done. It's too cold to take it out into the sunshine yet, so I'll have to wait to get some good photos. I can't wait to get it into...

My modified turbinator is complete, the only thing left is the cockpit detail and gear doors on the mains (if I decide to add them). Here are a couple photos. Note the "gun" in the nose that is...

RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

There was only one 200BR model, so I'll go with the scheme it had on it. Here's a profile and a photo of a model so you can get the idea.

RE: 2008 the year of the Turbinator

Making good progress on my Bash of the Turbinator into a semi-scale Ts-11. I have to do a bit more sanding to get everything the right shape, but the structure is done. I have to decide how I'm...
