This is Willie with his "new" Ducted Fan Jet ,He is not Sure what type of Jet it is being second hand , my feeling is that it's a Tigershark ... Anyone ? Post on Feedback Page please if you have any Idea what this jet might be ....

The Jet run's with a K&B 40 making a rough 30 to 35000 rpm ...

The Initial take of did not happen , the grass after all the rain we had did the jet no favors , Second try higher up on runway , again very long run but up she went ... very nice !!!

On first Flight Willie experienced a dead stick but fortunately above runway , Jet dropped quickly but well executed landing saw plane safely on the Ground ....

Deceptively fast , It looks slow till it's close ... A bit of flutter that needs to be fixed ...pilot remarked " This thing is soooo stable !! " Well there you have it ...he likes it , so do we ... Well done and nice plane , what ever it is ....!?
