RE: TBM Shock Jet

Sorry to hear about the flameout, I'm glad the damage was minimal. The SJ is pretty stout but I agree the front bulkhead is a weak point. -Tom

RE: TBM Shock Jet

What's the downside (pardon the pun) of running the vent out the bottom?

RE: TBM Shock Jet

I used CA hinges on the elevator and rudder, and the nylon hinges on the wing. 30 flights to date and everything still looks good.

RE: TBM Shock Jet

The K80F is a little heavier than the Rabbit RCGUY refers to, but I did not have to put a single oz of lead in my SJ to get it to balance. I simply put a 3 cell LiFE 2100 mah battery for the turbine,...

RE: TBM Shock Jet

Thanks Mike. I have read through the manual and definitely have some questions, I will pm you. The biggest concern I have is getting the wing due to the problems that have been reported.
