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...

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....

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...

RE: Turbine Enforcer

It's really personal preference. I have four flying surfaces because I prefer the redundancy. If a servo fails on a single elevon the plane will crash. With more control surfaces you at least have...

RE: Turbine Enforcer

Myles,
I added the speed brake as an after-thought when I was well in to the construction. The way I have it laid out it deploys to about 60-70 degrees. 2X10" is a good size, of course if you...

RE: Turbine Enforcer

Myles,
Lookin good!
I was wondering how you planned on mounting your turbine. You will need some structure in the rear to support the turbine weight. I installed a couple of hardwood pieces in...

RE: Turbine Enforcer

Strykaas,
Good effort to try to sort out the real story. I posted the same question on the RC Jets List and didn't get a good answer.

I'm an ME with no aeronautical background. Since F=PxA...

RE: Turbine Enforcer

If I remember correctly holes were added to the Bobcat gear door speed brakes to address an instability the plane exhibited when they were down.

Strykaas,
The illustrations in your post show...

Here's one I found on the web. Impressive flight, not so good landing (too hot).

RE: Turbine Enforcer

Randy,
That speed brake may be fine, it's about 30% more area than mine. Mine is about 3" in front of the CG and deploys 50 - 60 degrees. It makes the nose pitch up so make sure the plane isn't...

RE: Turbine Enforcer

Randy,
Looks great!

The Enforcer is a very stable, well behaved airframe. You will be surprised how fast it is. I fly mine at half throttle most of the time. I've put 69 flights on mine...

RE: Turbine Enforcer

Randy,
I'd move the main tank back and put the header directly in front of it if you can. My engine is mounted such that the rear of the exhaust cone is right at the trailing edge. The receiver...

RE: Turbine Enforcer

Hi Cars,
I'm not sure if I understand your question.

The effect of gear up or down on CG depends the direction they retract, their location relative to the CG, and how heavy your wheels &...

RE: Turbine Enforcer

By the way the plane is plenty fast with my Ram 500 (11 - 12# thrust). I estimate top speed at 160 mph. Some of the guys estimate it as high as 200 mph, but I think that's a stretch. I fly it at...

RE: Turbine Enforcer

Randy,
Extending the nose will affect the CG because you have added more lifting surface to the front of the plane. Moving the CG forward makes it more nose heavy, moving it aft makes it more tail...

RE: Turbine Enforcer

You won't regret it, Myles. I've got 33 flights so far on mine. It flys better than my DF one. The extra power plus digital servos help. The only thing I'd do differently is make the speed brake...

RE: Turbine Enforcer

Randy,
Looks good. FWIW here's my two cents worth:

Concern 1: You shouldn't have any flutter problem with the elevons. I have heard of some having issues with the fins. The 3/16" stock...

It wasn't hard to extend the nose. I cut narrow V shaped pieces out of plywood and epoxied them to the inside of the fuse side pieces. Then I used balsa pieces on the out side as filler to...

Looks good! Which turbine do you have on it? How much thrust? How much fuel does it carry?

The Enforcer is starting to take shape. I shortened the mount a little so that the engine sits a bit lower. Also found a 64 oz. juice bottle that I was able to squeeze in with a few modifications. ...
