RE: The new Tornado sport jet
Thanks guys! I am going to fly her tomorrow and just tape the canopy on for now. I will order a new one from Ray next week....assuming all goes well. 
The K-80 started right up today. Looking forward to flying her.

Are you planning to do the tub as well?

RE: The new Tornado sport jet
Ray, if you are making a new tub that's great. Any chance I can return the brand new in box canopy that doesn't fit the V3 and get the right canopy and new tub?

RE: The new Tornado sport jet
Thanks man. Suggested CG was 12.75. I flew it at 13". With the k80, 2 1100 a123's next to nosegear unit, and 3800 LIFE next to the nosehweel opening, I had to add about 5 ozs to the nose. I worked on it for 12 hours saturday and about 10hours sunday so by the time I got out to the field tonight I had just enough daylight to get one flight in. It flew well, but I can only get enought flap travel for 3" of travel so they do more to add lift than to cause drag and slow her down. I need to cut them off and re-hinge so I can get more throw. I was able to go farther out and bleed off seed and land ok, but would rather get more flap. I could fly at 1/4 power with full flap so I know there is not enough. Good news is I found a way to squeeze the jet in the car with the wings on which makes assmbly a lot easier at the field.

The recomended CG in the instructions is a good starting point I think I ended up moving mine about 1/4'' aft after a few flights

The search feature is not working. What are you guys using for the cg?

When you cut the flaps off swap the left and right flap and turn over that way you get a straight edge on the bottom to hinge the flap with I did this to my Falcon and hinged them with Robart pin hinges this gave me up too 90 degs of movement.

RE: The new Tornado sport jet
Too late Mike, haha. I did it last night. I just cut off the bevel so I lost about a 1/4" of flap....no big deal. I hinged on the bottom with 4 Robarts per side. I get 180 degrees of throw. only stops when the horn hits the wing. LOL

Just to clarify the deal regarding the Tornado V3 and Jets Munt VT80 combo deal
The VT80 is full price with the option to buy a Tornado V3 for £300 if bought together
Hope this clears up any confusion.
Website will be updated shortly

RE: The new Tornado sport jet
well I put 5 more flights on a tornado today. I must say I think it flies real well. only downside is the amount of flight time with the K80. withdrawal management I get 5 minutes and then drop the landing gear. my friends son took some video so want to send it to me I will post it

RE: The new Tornado sport jet
You may find crow will help stabalise the thing during a no wind day, it adds wash out to the wing tips and helps lower the tip stalling speed, it also has the side effect of increasing the rate of decent, so you can land with more flap and power in a nose high attitude, great fun to play with on landing and makes you look a real hot shot pilot.

RE: The new Tornado sport jet
Yeah my buddies were asking if I had put it in. My ailerons are Y'd together though so would have to make some changes if I did it. With flaps down I am flying about 1/3 to 1/2 throttle and lower the throttle to control decent and once I am over the runway, i pull the nose up and add back in a couple clicks of throttle and hold those nose off. It seems to settle in nicely with no hint of stalling. Tomorrow is supposed to be a calmer day so I will see how it changes things. I may even end up adding more flap. I like to have a ton of flap on jets and come in with a lot of power so its like an airbrake when I cut the power. My friend said his son got punished tonight so he got sent to his room so he has not sent me the video. ugggh. LOL
