Default Re: 3 choice 40% poll

What are you going to use for power? Seems to me that the JTEC being a bigger plane needs more than a 150, the ones that fly locally at my club seems to struggle with power/look draggy especially during the summer months. No personal knowledge as I haven't flown one just looks that way to me. Where as my Wildhare flys great on a 150 with a 30x12 mej. even when the temps are 100+

I will be using a kroma 180. I think I might have to rule out the sd because it is just impossible to get ahold of them. The wildhare is looking good to me now. Good power ratio. But Again How do each of these birds do the imac stuff???

I have two Jtec 40%s one with a ZDZ 160 Champ and the other with a DA 150. I'm using a Vess 32A prop on both. There is no problem with a 150 or 160 in this bird. I was using a Menz prop before but the Vess really brought it to life. The 180 should really work well.

PM Al (Jtec/Radiowave) or Jeeum they may have some. I've flown mine in the FGVC for the last couple of years so there's some shots there if the videos are still up.

Videos?

Check out the Masters videos--three Jtec's were flying as well as one of the Wildhare's. I'm sure you can find them scattered here as well as other sites.

From his selections I would bet that he is looking for a lower priced ARF.

I can not build a kit period... If I could, trust me there would not be any poll. I already have built a 40% kit and if some one wants to pick it up from my house its free!!!

Btw this is no joke,
