mrX July 23, 2006 Share mrX GC Alumni July 23, 2006 Looks like those guys are having fun. I have a jet that does b/w 60 and 70 mph (so I'm told). I've yet to fly it, as the planes I have that fly in the 30-40 mph range seem quick enough, and my heli addiction hasn't subsided. I gotta believe 200 mph is with the wind in a dive tho. That video just did not make it seem that fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavid July 23, 2006 Share pavid Member July 23, 2006 I loved how it sounds just like a jet. Now, if I sell my house, my car, my blood..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ash- July 23, 2006 Share Guest ash- Guests July 23, 2006 For some reason it sounds like the jet sounds were dubbed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman July 24, 2006 Share Batman Member July 24, 2006 Wow that was amazing! I love the landing flap that popped up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrX July 24, 2006 Share mrX GC Alumni July 24, 2006 Bah, that doesn't sound like a real jet. Real ones are much louder. Air force jets regularly fly over my house. Got reminded again tonite how loud they can be. Most of the time they are flying around with landing gear down doing circles, but tonite one came in from the east just roaring. Never seen one that looked like this around here. It came flying over at prolly 1500 feet. The sound from it trailed it by about 500 yards or so. Scared the bejeepers outta my son. It circled back around with landing gear down and was much slower and quieter. Gotta get my camera ready some time and take pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymo July 24, 2006 Share anonymo Member July 24, 2006 Yeah I'm just surprised they didn't crash it after 5 seconds and that they were actually able to land it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goofus Maximus July 24, 2006 Share Goofus Maximus Member July 24, 2006 (edited) That is a real jet engine, just it's a tiny one, It sounds just right for it's size. Edited July 24, 2006 by Goofus Maximus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EbilDustBunny July 25, 2006 Share EbilDustBunny GC Alumni July 25, 2006 ... how can you even keep an eye on something like that in the air O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goofus Maximus July 26, 2006 Share Goofus Maximus Member July 26, 2006 Evidently modern electronics makes such small turbojets feaseable. I was reading the specs on the JetCat engine, as well as reading a forum thread somewhere on jet engines for model planes (which is evidently a bigger market than I would have figured on), and software seems to be a big factor in running these things.

Chimmpp July 26, 2006 Share Chimmpp Member July 26, 2006 I think that was modeled off of an Su, maybe 27. That would be sweet to play around with tho, but I know I would try some loops too low to the ground and I would hit someone in the head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goofus Maximus July 31, 2006 Share Goofus Maximus Member July 31, 2006 Heh! We could call your plane "The Decapitator!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
