I cannot understand why are you guys comparing a glider to a warbird?

Just forget about the warbird and let Reynolds be excited by the great plane and project of his flight instructor. I'd be just as excited if I had been promised a flight in that

The 109E had some trouble to reach 290mph IAS and the YP-38 wasnt a fighter, it was a prototype, the 1st combat unit got P38´s in 1941 or 42??

Angus, we talk about IAS!! The early HurriI never did reach 290mph IAS in level flight, not matter what alt!

Anyway, Have is right, to fly the "jet powered" Fox must be a great experience.

Okay, maybe just later ones

The "Speed" Spittie was doing 400+ on the TAS at low alt in 1938 anyway

All edjucation.....all..all

Funny thing doug and I were just debating puting jets on my RV friday.

The type that I was looking at sound like what he would put on the plane.

Basicly they are jets orignaly designed for RC planes.

Cost about $5000, 34 LBs thrust burn about 7.2 gallans an hour and only weight 3.5 LBs.

When I looked at what they would do for my RV they would give me about an extra 10 knots.

Now wouldn't supprise me at all with the L/D that the fox has, 34 lbs thrust might be enof to acctual sustain a slow climb.

Reynolds, is that Dillingham?

Here is an interesting RC-jet experiment

Supposed to be able to maintain level flight.

Video of a twinjet glider:

I think someone linked it here in the O-club a few months ago.

Not quite sir. The ones he is looking at are about 5-6 times heavier from what he has said.

not really... im sure i read on the 262 remake website that the engines throttle was set so that the stop was about equal the 262's real power.... After then, there was a spring, where the pilot during takeoff roll could engauge full 100% power from the engines by pushing the throttle forward and holding it... However if he let go, it would return to "normal" ie 262s 100%.

Wholly cow, youo crazy Finns, LOL.
Call me conservative, but I'd stick to this birdie. (Future plan)

Top speed 193 kts, Top cruise 160 kts, ROC 2500 fpm+, takeoff 200m, eyc
