Title: Viper Jet - Ready for test flight
Post by: xantos on June 16, 2012, 10:54:11 AM
Just finished my new Viper
Has the new Jetcat 140 RX turbine
Quite amazed how simple the turbine set up is now
All external solenoids etc are gone.
Only one fuel line running to the turbine.
One cable from Turbine to ECU , one cable from ECU to Pump and one to the receiver - Thats it !
Super simple - lets see how it runs now !

Thats very interesting with all external solenoids gone. It means less chance of leakages. Hope to see some photographs and all the best for the maiden.
Cheers

Nice pics Gusty,
Wow you dug that post out from March 2011, I didn't think I'd built it that long ago !
Next time we'll have a buddy box for sure so you can really explore the flight envelope
Pic 2 is really nice !

That was a perfume ball, until you asked me to come back

Go for the Shok Jet , I'll probably find a PST800 I'm not using for you to start flying
Shokjet is a nice cheap entry level jet without any complications of landing gear , retracts ,tail pipe enclosed turbines etc
