RE: TBM Shock Jet

Yeah, definitely pilot error. You can even see where part of the nose was broken off before it hit the ground, so you know it had to have flown through the wires. I bet the lamps in the nearby houses...

RE: TBM Shock Jet

I had a flameout with mine not too long ago, right after takeoff. I had gone full throttle with my Falcon, was pulling to vertical when it quit. Only about 100 ft up. Nose down, build up speed,...

RE: TBM Shock Jet

I kinda dropped out of the hobby between '97 and '05, so I was not around then. When I got back into the hobby, I went back out to the Aeromasters a few times, but the guys I had flown with earlier...

RE: TBM Shock Jet

RE: TBM Shock Jet

I'm sure if I fly it WOT and pull full up elevator that I could rip the wings off. Most of my time is spent at less than 2/3 throttle, I only open it up for vertical, or for a high-speed run. I do...
