TOPIC: New models 2024

Nice looking model, Daniel.

The washout is a good idea. Genuine Jetex, I see. Nice. I'm glad you've made it colourful and thus easier to see at a distance. - the small version of Skyjet (there was a big one for Jetex 200) was originally designed for a 1950s ribbed Jetex 50 .... it will go like the proverbial bat outa .... with the more powerful 50C.
You may be in for some long retrieves!



Above: the original Skyjet, designed by the legendary Bill Dean, for a 1948 Jetex 200 motor.



Above: the KK Skyjet 50 (as kitted by Keil Kraft in 1950). Note the ribbed 50. These had a thrust of 1/2 oz or so; the later 50C with Sebel pellets was a good deal more powerful - up to 3/4 oz. I would add that he small Skyjet doesn't like being overpowered!

Mike Stuart’s Fiat G91R in build for Spectre L2. This will be a nice one…

Hi Daniel,
Mike's Fiat G91 was originally designed for Rapier L-2.



The motor was, I remember, quite a tight squeeze in the fuselage. The TSP L-2 Spectre is a bit bigger than a Rapier L-2. You may need to modify the trough and the motor mounting!
