Mine is ready to fly again after a couple of years. Made some changes so not to fly with a yaw. It has a Homebuilt GT2000 for power and produces around 11 lbs. of thrust.

Wow blast from the past. I enjoyed reading past posts and looking at all the different mods. Moved on from those days though to scale jets and war birds but the Enforcer is still one of my favorites. A few years back shredded the tires on attempted takeoff, couldn’t rotate and hit a stantion distroying the right wing. Still got it and may rebuild it someday.

I have thought about building and Enforcer with a K70 and adding thrust vectoring.

I still have both of my Enforcers. I have about 125 flights on the Byroblaster, and 250 on the turbine, but haven't flown either one in years. Just moved on to other jets.

It's been a while. After sitting 8 or 9 years I decided to dust off my Enforcer. I bought a used 12 ch. receiver (big mistake), and converted it to 2.4G. I had forgotten how much fun this was to fly. Unfortunately after 6 flights it went into failsafe and crashed.

After thinking about it I decided to build another, with a few improvements, as my winter project. This was truly scratch built and decorated as a tribute to my C7 Corvette. It's now done and waiting for spring to maiden. Here's a few pictures.

Is anyone else still flying a Turbine Enforcer?

Default Turbine Enforcer

I rebuilt my Enforcer and now it’s flying again. The original first flew on Nov 96 with my home built 3/64. Put on 175 flights with that engine. Flew another 20 flights with JC BEE 50 and Ram 500 then tried an EDF which stalled on takeoff and destroyed the fuselage so built a new fuselage and flew it again and then the the tires shredded on takeoff, hit a

Present day Enforcer.
stantion and destroyed the wing so built a new wing and here it is today. One of my favorite flyers.

I have a NorthStar which had a Glow engine
What size turbine would be suitable for it
Would a 20N Kolibri work ?

That depends on how fast you want to go. A 20N would be enough to fly it but it wouldn't be very fast, long take offs and not much vertical. If you want it to fly like a turbine jet I wouldn't use anything smaller than a 60N
