Skymaster F-15 Eagle

My 1st taste of turbine jet, an F-15 Eagle from Skymaster brand, available at www.asiascalerc.com

Maiden flight was 16th Nov 2007. Took about 4 months to put together, hey this is my first turbine so i have my fair share of mistakes during the build LOL! Video link below...

Sitting pretty at Royal Johor Polo Field, Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Thanks and gratitude to Johor Radio Pilot Club and Johor Flying Club.

TJT3000-powered, producing 12 kg (28 lbs) of thrust.

Yes...the turbine idle speed is 37,200 rpm

Connecting the taxi tank, this tank will be unplugged from the belly just before take-off. Turbine engine consumes fuel at a high rate even during taxiing around, this way the 3 fuel tanks on the jet are always full prior to flying.

Finally airborne on 16th Nov 2007. It was an exciting sight to see this beast taking off the grass of the Royal Johor Polo field, Malaysia.
