Dags för Jet-Speed igen?
Det lär ligga lite DynaJets på hyllorna ute i landet.!
Gillar ideen med det fyrkantiga aluminium röret som bas. Det gör det enkelt att fästa allt rakt. Borde passa vingar och stabbar typ Weatherman med plan undersida mycket väl. Och landningsställ av plåt eller kolfiber.
Här kommer mitt inlägg från FB häromdan.
My Jet-Speed anno 1987.
To my surprise these pictures emerged talking to Jonas Romblad during an indoor free flight event in Nyköping, Sweden. It turned out that we had met at the European Control line Championships in Sweden the year of 1987.
The DynaJet I got from a motel roommate visiting the US Nats 1986 in Lake Charles, Louisiana. He competed in jet speed, me with free flight hand launched gliders (more correctly Glider in singularis. I built only one in the motel room the night before the comp. It was trimmed the next early morning and later flew out of sight at my last flight catching a great thermal, disappearing out over the Mexican Gulf). The Gentleman gave me this engine after the comp. I have forgotten his name but are looking for the partitipants list from the event. I remember he told me he had won the Nats atleast once and he gave me a bag full of trim parts as well.
The model was built around an idea that a square aluminum tube would make a great fuel tank as well as acting as a good platform for simple brackets with it's flat surfaces. The wing was my first folded aluminium wing, the tail and nose made entirely from pine. The engine brackets were fastened with blind rivets, the wooden parts epoxied into the square tube and the wing screwed in place with 2 long M3 bolts right through the square tube (funny to remember all these details 40 years later.....).
It flew only a few times, also with Sven Pontan at the handle. The model was damaged while moving, later lost, but the engine is still around and functional sitting on a test bench.
Maybee it's time to build a new copy?!
