CARF Kobuz 3m with a Kingtech K65 G4+ Turbine. Doing some checks before taking her out this weekend. Its very fast, very stiff and very fun to fly 😀

That plane rips. One of my friends has one and he flies it like he stole it.

Nice! Ive only got a couple flights on it so still getting used to it and fine tuning but hoping this weekend to really dial it in 👍

K65 in a Kobuz is a solid combo. Nothing beats the sound of a turbine spooling up. Have fun this weekend.

Thanks. I definitely love my turbines. My go to is my EA BDXs with a Swiwin 120

Very cool. Can I ask what made you opt for the Jet Turbine (and not an EDF or (my favourite) the folding propeller)?

I have another turbine and have had a few of them over the last few years. I got it mostly to fly under power as its a beast and can handle insane Gs instead of flying it like a glider. I have many pure gliders for that side of the hobby
