RE: Cyclone at Liberty Bell video
Jim,
It's got an AMT180,full bypass.Carries 64oz+Uat fuel.Flies for 5mins WOT.It lands much slower now that I have moved the cg back.It was way noseheavy in the vid.Now lands at about half that speed.It is a good straight airplane with no bad habits,and as you can see,it hauls the mail.I'd like to stuff a little more gas in it to extend the flight time,but space is tight.

RE: Cyclone at Liberty Bell video
Erik, did you convert it from DF or build it for turbine install?
Was it difficult to make it 'turbine-worthy'?
I have a friend building one for DF now, but we've discussed putting a MW-54 in it.
Such a shame the entire DL line is no longer available. I thought they were well built and very affordable.

Sean and Jim,
I bought it turnkey from a friend(AceRCU).As far as I know its version 1 with the sport wing.It's a great jet.I lost my bandit in July,and Billy stepped up with this to keep me burning kerosene this summer.I think the P-80 has the same blow as my mercury,so you should be good Sean.
Woj,
Thanks for the kind words.I really do need another bandit,but I have to watch the funds.Works unstable,you know mechanics on strike etc.On another note,we're planning on going to Deck Friday.Let me know if you feel like taking a ride.
