I haven't seen Doug for quite some time, hope all is ok.
The weight? No one said turbine models are light!... about 6 1/2 KG.
Building from a kit leaves you a little stuck with how much the model will weigh. Keep in mind I did lighten the model a LOT in an attempt to fly it with the Wren 44. The P-60 installation is, however, a much heavier package than a manual start Wren 44.
I can see where you are coming from Paul , sorry but I will be keeping it. I would like to build a turbine twin one day & two little 44 size engines mean I can build one at a sensible size (about 2 metre).
I was thinking about a Learjet & one landed at Wangaratta while Craig & myself were at the jet fly. Not thinking about one now, it's a must build! Am I the only modeller that thinks the Lear is gorgeous? - John.
