Lol, that turbine is smaller than a 737 apu! Personally I'd modify the Storch to suit the turbine, as you point out later kits are pretty big dollars.. quite liking the idea of a scale turbine Spit though!

if i could afford a pratt and whitney or rollys royce turbine from a 747 i would buy one... years and years ago now i was offered a j85 from a f4.... i turned it down...

The Aluxary power unit of a 747 needs to be big to cope in case turbine shut down.. mine is just a light weight turbine for hobbiest use.

normally it tskes between 2 and 4 years to get a kit aircraft into the air. i think maybe 18 months or so give or take a few years....

And don't be dissing my F14s

yes its a hud and navagational panel from an harrier but setup to work with comerical inputs...

f14 are great if your american or tom cruise... im just saying....if your going to build a plane why make it so damn ugly.. itsnlike looking at a fat chick, sure she has potential but do you really want to risk it??

fa18> f14
Push Bike > F-14

Oh no you didn't!!

Btw did you know there's a Harrier in Ashburton? I didn't until I walked into the hanger and saw it! pooped myself with excitement!

by **kiwi4agze** » Thu Oct 06, 2011 8:22 am

I have heard there is one there.. I can get you an EX-MOD harrier for $225,000 if your intrested.....

Engine arrives in 2 weeks! yay!!!!!!

I like the storch cause its stol but I am thinking maybe need something a little better for the new engine.....

Its not flyable but if you want it i will find you the info.....

Why do you like american jets so much??? I knew a guy who had a mig in hamilton a few years ago.. great guy.. bit loopy

Maybe a ME-109 or a Spitfire, msuatng or simular.. maybe 3/4 scale... any ideas??

by **Mr Revhead** » Thu Oct 06, 2011 8:38 am

Hey whats wrong with liking F14s?

109s, spits and p51s are the obvious choices though, be different!
How about a P39?

by **kiwi4agze** » Thu Oct 06, 2011 8:58 am

Thanks!!!
a P-40... thats what I am going to build.. now I know someone with plans for a 3/4 scale one..... Just cant remember where i Put his number or what his name is... LOL old age is fun

Cos like he said, the f14 is a whale.. the f-16 on the other hand is a sexy b#tch!

by **Mr Revhead** » Thu Oct 06, 2011 9:00 am

He doesn't like 16s either! Weirdo....

P40 would be cool!

F-16 is just a re-think on the A4.. and we all know the A-4 is great

I always had a small soft spot for the A-1.. dont know why just makes me all warm and fuzzy

by **Mr Revhead** » Thu Oct 06, 2011 9:11 am

Which means the 16 is even more awesomer!

by **kiwi4agze** » Thu Oct 06, 2011 9:26 am

Yeah for your play station, xbox generation yeah.
A4 = Battle Tested
F-16= Small penis show off toy for the modern generation

I will stay wityh the tried and true.....

But none can come close to a Spitfire, Mustang or Thunderbolt..... they are true aircraft!

by **Mr Revhead** » Thu Oct 06, 2011 9:33 am

Yes, there is nothing quite like the WW2 era fighters.
Spitty and p51 ge thalf their awe from the engine. If you are building a replica I think you need to do something different. The P40 is a cool idea.
Or what about a Hurricane? Maybe Peter Jackson will pay you to use it in his movie

by **GDII** » Thu Oct 06, 2011 9:34 am

What about the Douglas A-1 Skyraider? That is a big plane with massive payload capabilities. Obviously more of a bomber than a fighter. I still prefer the P-51 over the other WWII planes.

I already proved my love of the A1.. such a well rounded machine.

I would like to make a replica but its a radial plane and it would look funny with a turboprop!

LOL@spending around $75,000+ ona P-40 airframe when new they were $1912 in 1940!

How big is that turbine you have?
It makes me thinking:
if that turbine is fairly small (size of car engine) wouldn't be awesome if:
put it in a car with generator coupled to it, which drives 4 electric motors that drive the car?
