Ive not quite decided on what to do with the SportJet70mm. The cockpit does seems to be a perfect location for me to place a Predator's camera with a pan servo. A tempting thought. Ha!

I will put that Jet aside for the future or maybe sell it off to a worthy modeller.

For now, I planned on doing something with the AXN then the Bixler.

Is anyone launching from a bungie? If so can you tell me where the hook should go. I had it up the front and she just nosed in. I suspect it might need to be placed an inch before CG.

The MAAA can end aero-modelling apartheid Today! They think you're stupid and won't notice MOP057

Your hook should go just right infront of the front skid.

You might want to reposition the hook to the back of the front skid if your Stinger is nose-heavier than average. Perhaps you should also increase the angle and tension of your bungee launch. Only you will be able to judge for that.

Good luck!

I did not, I launched it by hand and I had tried various location, strength and angles to throw it, it seem to prefer being pulled in finger pocket area(about an inch before CG) and 40degrees up for my nose-heavy Stinger. However when I had increased the overall weight of my Stinger, it prefers being tossed from behind the center-rear edge of the main wing at appox 30degrees angle and it will track straight into the air as I increase throttle.

This should also work for a bungee ramp launch setup as that is what I would do for mine when I use the bungee.


Come to think about it, I presume your Stinger is indeed nose heavier than average? Others with a lighter 1600-1800mah 3S lipo pack seem to ramp and hand launch well with the hook on the skid area.

G'day Fusopn Tiger thank for the post

The setup is all stock the esc is labeled as "detram 60A" and is rated to 6 cell, The motor has no markings. the batt was Turnigy 3000MaH 35c lipo.

I have no thrust tube but i did use a paint roller wrapped in 1200 grit sandpaper to remove all the knobbys in the tube and i taped over the rudder/ele protrousuions in the tube so there was no air obstruction at all.

After the succsess of 5 cell I did breifly run the Meteor on six cell and the electronics held up ok but the EDF housing softened with the heat and the fan hit the EDF housing and the magic smoke got out.

No vid as my friend with the camera wasn't there :(

since the video and six cell meltdown I have replaced the motor with L2855-2100 Turnigy L2855-2100 EDF Outrunner (900w) 1 Reserved. and it is slower but i can keep wot all the time. as soon as stock is back i will order the 10 Blade High-Performance 70mm EDF Ducted Fan Unit. this should complete my Meteor's development. And allow me to get the Silvia 70mm Composite EDF Jet (Kit) and put the six cell setup from meteor in this ;}
It should be fffast.
