Some guy shows up at the field offer some prop jet he is trying to get rid off. I had just purchased a a Pawnee and a J3 Cub, so I was done w my jobby money for the month. As always, my curiosity once again took the best of me.
Turns out to be a Hangar 9 H22 in mint condition ARF, all servos and original .46 Evo under powered engine.
Took it home, receiver, adjusted throws to my liking and installed a well deserved OS .55ax, modded muffler baffle for better flow, set cg, new rx batt, bench test and to the field.
Some minor clicks, and it was tracking like an arrow, running it on 10% Omega fuel. Am still working on getting comfortable with the jet, can do usual loops, rolls, low and high speed passes is where this jet shines.
What surprised me was how well maintained it was after all these years, 2008 when he bought it, and al he asked was $85 and that someone gave it well deserve fly time as he barely did as he was learning how to fly.
