TOPIC: latest news on motor availability -

Hello

As a retired modeller of many years I'm so wanting to retry my past 'kites' including my Jeytex experiences from the 60s.

I have obtained several plans for various configurations ( non scale though) and really need some info on motors and fuel

Any chance of help in my quest please ?


Regards

Bill

Hi Bill,

Good to have you on board. We have some very nice L-2 (equivalent to the old Jetex 50) and L-1 type motors at the moment (have a read through this thread) suitable for a variety of built up (think old 'Flying Scale') and profile (all sheet like the Veron Quickys). So it all depends on what you want to make. What 'non-scale' models are you wanting to build? I'm sure there is a suitable modern motor for it as long as it's not too large!

One question: Where do you live? We can post motors within the UK but not to, say, the USA.

Do have a look at our 'FAQs' (and some of my old blogs and at the Jetex Store) and come back with further questions.

Can I ask, do you have any L1 or 2 available at the moment. I’ve just moved to Yorkshire from central London, so now am in a position to fly models again for the first time in years!

Are the L2 rockets available to buy?
If so, how can I buy some?

Hi Norman,

have a look at:

www.jetex.org/index.php/jetex-forum?view=topic&catid=8&id=319

We have a few Rapier 'old stock' L-2 motors available, see:

www.jetex.org/index.php/jetex-forum?view=topic&catid=8&id=317

but whether these Rapier L-2 motors are suitable for you depends on the model ... we have only L-2's of lowish power. The TSP L-2 motors are quite powerful and can be 'bored out' to lower the thrust and increase the duration.

Prices are still as listed on the Forum thread.
