Seems very simple but yet:rolleyes: too rich for my blood$$$$

Hey David I remember that you wanted to build your own, did you ever attempt it?

To do that you need this: http://shop.traplet.com/product.aspx?c=182
I highly recomend it if you are intrested in Rc Turbines.

Started and have some of the more expensive components and castings, but life with 3 boys took priority. I do plan on finishing it! It's on the bucket list...:)

Thanks Peter! Fantastic book and is already part of my collection. The turbine I started building is the KJ-66. For those who are interested the KJ stands for Kurt Schreckling and Jesús Artés de Arcos the two designers. The 66 stands for 66mm turbine wheel diameter. Many advances have been made since I started and I hope to continue this project one day.

I know that turbine well one of my friends build it it was the first running turbine I ever saw and heard and since them I am hooked to them. My favorite it the Lambert Colibri. I just love tiny stuff. Regards Pete

Kingtech make very nice turbines for a very nice price nowadays. If I were to stay and continue flying I would consider them.

What a coincidence Pete. I was checking out their website this afternoon. I saw a video on YouTube and immediately checked out their website. They appear to be pretty good. Here is the video I was watching:

I got hooked on turbines when I saw an beautiful F-86 with a turbine in 1997. It was at the National Fun-Fly in St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu. The scale look and sound was simply amazing. Been hooked since! We need to meet before you leave!

Cheers! David

I went to every jet meeting in Germany I also visited Jetcat. Germany seems to be big in Jets we also host the Jetpower Tradefair.If there is one thing you have to see then it's the Jetpower it's just awesome. I could never afford a Turbine yet even fly it. Now I think I could even the technology does not scare me at all, but I am leaving and were I am going ,Turbines will be a memory of the past. I will be getting back to my second passion. Dirt bikes. But who knows if I ever should move back to Germany then for sure I will be even older and maybe have the loose cash then I will defiantly get my turbine.
Nice video. I watched that a couple of months ago. What can you say? Seems to work perfectly. On Rc Canada there were some for sale in the classifieds.
