Turbine Trainer--Yeah, Right

[Mr DJ]

Here is my ShockJet turbine trainer with a manufacture claim of over 150-mph.

Yeah, I saw the ad for that thing in the middle of the AMA magazine. It's looks didn't move me, but the price wasn't too bad for a turbine. It definitely looks faster than 50 mph and it sounds sweet like all turbines do. If you post or give me a link to a downloadable version of the video, I can run it throught the doppler software and give you the speed.

I was just making a comical note in my opening line of only going 50-mph :p. It actually appears to be moving at 145. TBM claims it flies over 150—mine weights about a pound more than TBM’s. I’m not concerned of its true speed; I’ll save that want for one of my other birds.

Thanks, Steve

Go it. Well, I hope to see you flying this one or one of the other at PGRC sometime soon.

[Mr DJ]

You will, Steve...

When you see me, intro yourself to me since you know what I look like already...

Will do. You will usually see me flying electric jets (EDFs) of some sort or other. Sometimes with more success than others. :cool:

Looking forward to seeing those jets at PGRC. Is 400' of runway enough for you?

[Mr DJ]

Yes, Sir, Goodman--400 will work just fine :D

Did you check out my video on prop sale? I've got a 13' Cessna 182 Skyline that is as sweet as she wanna be.
