If Carlsberg made jet turbine powered sports model aircraft ..... This 330 kph plus, 1.75m wingspan, 133N JetCat P120-SX powered variant of Nizz's most excellent AMRX_EA, is probably (no, IS) THE best fast jet trainer on the Swaps!
But it's not only for hardened RF jockeys; almost anyone could get to grips with this kite in no time.
Weighing 11.5 kg empty, and 14 kg with a full 2.8 litre tank, she's no light-weight, in any sense of the phrase! She's robust and fast - very fast!
330 kph is well over 200 mph in old money. And after you've burnt-off 2 litres or so,she goes even faster! But she flys as if it's on rails - and goes exactly were you point her, and all without any drama at all. 'Beating-up' the airfield at low,low,low level (but fast, fast, fast speeds) has never been easier.
Honestly Nizz, you really should get this gal into production!! The dimensions, weights and engine parameters are all realistic - a bit heavy if anything - but the engine parameters are 100% accurate. Even the CofG works out (with the fuel tank 'bang-over' the neutral point) too.
A full 2.8 litre tank will keep her going at full chat for just under 8 mins - very reasonable.
And she's smart to boot! Well smart. A real peach! I'll take one right now. No, make that three!!
The air brake is controlled by the throttle - close the throttle and the 'brake pops out, open the tap a tadge and it tucks away again. Simple.
The wheel brakes are controlled by the the elevator stick - push the stick to apply the wheel brakes - neutral stick (or 'up' elevator) releases the wheel brakes.
If you use full flap for take-off she does it all for herself, darn very nearly lands herself too!. Hats off to Nizz (again) - keep up the excellent work OM!
