Hi  guy's
here are some details on my F-15 , 85"long, 54" wingspan  all up weight =
14 lbs, the model is powered by two gas turbines made from plans i got =
of the web , I also purchased the turbine wheels from the same place =
.they put out 24lbs of thrust @115.000 rpm so going vertical is not a =
problem.the model uses 8 channels,these being , rudders , stabilisers, =
landing gear, speed brake, throttle , lighting system, main gear brakes =
and engine start. the turbines are controlled by an electronic control =
unit, which will start , run and check the system before handing control =
over to the transmitter, it will also control the shut down and spools =
the turbines up and down to cool the units .the model has nav, anti =
collision , formation and landing lighting, the landing light operates =
from the nose gear, the main gear twists and turn on retraction,and the =
gear doors are sequenced, the model also has a full fail-safe system =
which is required on this model .fuselage is f/ glass with some carbon =
fibre in high stress areas the wings and stab's are hot wire cut from =
white foam ,1/16" balsa skinned then glassed  the fins and stab's are =
the same method, landing gear and pneumatic system are also home made. =
the model is quite docile to fly , but focuses the mind when you turn =
the power on .  =20
