Not sure we need to know about it to give an opinion on if he should buy it as something to fly in the meantime.

Voted.

I used to be an aircraft mechanic in the RNZAF I have done a bit of apprentice training on the strike master, they do have that fairly cool side by side seating position, but I wouldn't give you much for the horrid undercarriage design and the lack-lustre power plant.

i vote for tank, and a large aeroplane that the tank can parachute out of into eden park / destiny church / revheads

also, if what you say is true and your son is really a drop kick, i nominate myself for adoption.

I do like the way you think

I can't imagine that it would be a cheap exercise to fly or maintain a Strikemaster!

Especially with Rev trying to shoot it out of the sky! :lol:

Between 70,000 and 90,000 per year based on 250hrs flight time.

a single 20mm cannon is hardly a threat!, max celing is maybe 1500m, i just fly above that and drop a LGB on his ass...

The engines in the strikemaster are very low powered, but i dont need a supersonic jet

YES BUY, Strike Master owns pretend 3/4 size turboprop P-40 every rime all day.

if you were building a "proper" v12 P-40 then no chance but seeing as your not go jet powah

1GZ-FE? But then again I guess that leaves you with converting a car motor to aero use. Or the Falconer V12 as seen in http://www.thundermustang.com/, but again I'd imagine that would cost a fair whack as well.. bmw make a few decent V12s too.

did you know the toyota 1gz-fe is a bmw aero engine for the BF-109 that was shipped to toyota in ww2 for them to make for the japanese fighters...

So toyota supported the Nazi's!!

by **RS13** » Fri Oct 21, 2011 4:30 pm

Lol.. yes, just been reading up on BMW and its' origins in aircraft engines.. still, I think the 1GZFE would perhaps be a little too big and heavy for your airframe?

Plus is a nazi engine :twisted:

Toyota = Nazi supporters... :lol:

Too heavy compared to the allison and under powered. Even the crappy allison made 1,100kw, the merlin upwards of 2,000kw. The 1GZFE is 400hp

Thats almost affordable! But a FV 432 has got to be the Toyota Previa of "tanks". I was thinking of something much more unaffordable and impractical.
Like these:

If I win Lotto, an impractical and large armoured vehicle is definitely on the "list".
