Tamjets F-16
Instruction Manual
WARNING
This model is designed to safely operate with model turbine engines into the 13-17 lbs
thrust range. Early pre-production aircraft are powered with a Jetcat P-60. We find that is
plenty of power.
We also flew with a P-70. We recommend the use safe of throttle management and keep
the speed below 180mph.
Every airplane has its safety limit. We tested the model harder than the most average pilot
would normally fly.
Pilot operation of any R/C model jet should be done by following safety rules and all
manufacturer safety suggestions.
Here is few not to do
lists
.
1)
A larger, more powerful engine than suggested could cause excessive speed and
possible control problems and/or structural fatigue and potential failure.
2)
Pulling high
G
maneuvers at full throttle can cause structural fatigue and/or failure.
3)
Caution-- when using the optional smoke system. Do not blind yourself and other
pilots at the flight line. This can cause loss of control of the model due to poor
visibility.
The privilege of operating a turbine powered model aircraft carries with it an increased
responsibility. Adherence to the manufacturer’s specifications and the AMA regulations
are included in the responsibility.
Please give serious thought before trying to modify or “improve” any facet of this power
and airframe package.
