RE: TBM Shock Jet

Forgot to retract the flaps on mine after landing and,during thetaxiback at a moderate speed, it suddenly took off on its own. Had to apply power and go around again.

Pilot error - stop the video at the moment of impact and you can see the right wing tip hit the power lines.</p>

RE: TBM Shock Jet

RE: TBM Shock Jet

I have been flying a P-80 in my ShockJet for about a year now. I have an 80 oz. fuel tank that I got from Ali's Jet Central that gives me about 10-12 minutes depending on throttle management. Plenty...

RE: TBM Shock Jet

RE: TBM Shock Jet

I used the CA hinges that came with the plane and have had no problems. I pinned them with tooth-picks just to be sure. They are a lot easier to install than the Robart type.

RE: TBM Shock Jet

I had a problem with using a Y on the flaps because they were hinged slightly differently.  The gap on one was a little larger than the other and the hinge line was a little higher causing the...

RE: TBM Shock Jet

Has anyone ever felt the need to seal the gaps on the control surfaces to help prevent flutter? I have not experienced any flutter to date but wonder if it should be a concern.

RE: TBM Shock Jet

RE: TBM Shock Jet

I saw elsewhere on this forum that someone encountered the same problem but found the slots had been cut but were under the covering. I think they ran a covering iron over the edges and could see the...

RE: TBM Shock Jet

You may want to look into the 101 oz. tank that TBM just released (see post 331-332 above). It would be a good deal cheaper and has more capasity. Too bad they released it after I had already bought...

RE: TBM Shock Jet

I just completed my ShockJet with a JetCat P-80. We maidened it Sunday and it flew great. You will have to do some major surgery to reconfigure the motor mounts to accept the larger motor but...
