The original DV8R is still flying with a JetCat P80, which is a perfect match for this model. TBM built
its prototype ARF with a Jet Central 36 lb Rhino only to test out the DV8R’s maximum capabilities.
The Rhino is not recommended as it is too large. We recommend the Jet Cat 70, 80, or 120 or the Jet
Central Rabbit, Falcon or Super Eagle. The plane will weigh about 22 lbs, so a turbine with about 22
lbs of thrust is recommended.
NOTE that the power from the larger turbines make the plane fly very fast. The drooping nose at high
speeds causes the plane to descend slightly. This is easily correct by changing the thrust line of the
turbine a small amount to compensate. The plane is then rock solid at all speeds. We tested the
prototype with a 36 lb thrust Rhino, and it was very, very fast, yet rock solid after the turbine thrust
line was fine tuned.
