RE: TBM Shock Jet

Funny thing today. I have been flying 30 to 35% gas planes for about three years. I recently built my shock, I have been so excited that the shock is about all I've been flying. Since Feb. 19th I now...

RE: TBM Shock Jet

rcguy59,

RE: TBM Shock Jet

Thanks for the one email letting me know the turbine was installed upside down and it should not be that way. I called Eric and he confirmed that is needed to be turned over.

All done, just need...

RE: TBM Shock Jet

In all my gas planes the Tygon clunk lines get hard as a rock in no time. I found Viton stays flexible for a couple years if not more. Tygon works great for plumbing, just not clunk line IMHO.

Another newbie question;

RE: TBM Shock Jet

I made my decision :) After speaking with Gerry for a while I made my mind up to go with a JC Rabbit. This should be a good engine in the SJ and will be great for something else in the future.
