This is an all new airplane from MF Models in China. This plane has undergone dozens of changes since the first prototype was sent to us for testing several months ago. Their goal was to offer the easiest to take off, land, fly, build, repair and use turbine powered aircraft ever. And they wanted to do all that at the lowest price of any turbine ARF ever. We think they did it.

Take offs into a 10mph wind can be accomplished in under 10' on asphalt, and about 20' on short grass! Landings, using very effective flaps, can be done in under 5'. Grass runways of course are no problem. The 80" (IMAA legal) wing provides tons of lift for the 13 lb plane. Hovers, blenders, spins, knife edge, high alpha rolls, knife edge to knife edge snaps, rolling loops and 150 mph high speed fly bys are easy to perform! At jet rallies, this is the plane that will be flying the most if there is high wind because wind doesn't affect it at all! On take off, just point it into the wind and it is airborne! Landings are just as easy in high wind.

At just $299 with the purchase of a Jet Central Super Bee, this is the best way to get started in turbines. Once you get comfortable with all the nuances of turbines, the waiver, the fuel, the starting procedure, the lag time, flaps, and more, just pop out the turbine and the other parts and put them into the jet you've always dreamed of. You don't want to fly a F-16 or other high performance jet until you have spent time with an entry level jet. It's just too difficult to master all the new techniques at once.

Parts included with the ARF kit:
- 2-piece wing is permanently joined using an aluminum wing joiner.
- MPI High speed jet tires and aluminum wheels.
- Fults nosewheel and brake system
- Aluminum main landing gear
- BFT bubbleless fuel tank mount. This is the wooden mount below which holds the tank at 45 degrees.
- Steel axles
- Swivel clevis and horns
- Ball links

Parts required to complete the kit:
- Turbine - 14 lb. Mounts preinstalled for the Jet Central SuperBee
- Servos, radio equipment, servo extensions
- BFT - bubbleless fuel tank or equivalent header tank
- 50 oz main fuel tank

Note that while the video states that the spar was reinforced carbon fiber, we found that the CF was not durable enough! To avoid durability issues, we converted to aluminum. There is only a slight weight disadvantage.

	This brake system was designed and manufactured specifically for the ShockJet by Bob Fults. This simple design works great for this plane, but actually the ShockJet lands so slowly that it really doesn't need a brake (but the AMA requires one). The brake lever presses into the tire via the mini servo shown in the front of the fuselage. It uses a spring to provide even pressure and eliminates overloading the servo.
	Note the extremely simple layout. Without retracts, the plane is much simpler to build, operate and maintain. All the components simply drop into place in a few minutes. All the key components are mounted under the hatch so they can be easily inspected, repaired or replaced between flights.
	The battery compartment is in the front of the plane with a removable hatch. This positions the battery for the correct CG. Only one battery is required to operate the RX, Turbine ECU, valves and pumps. We recommend a TBM 5200mah LiIon or LiPoly pack. We get about 10 flights including starts and cool downs from a 5200 mah battery.
	The business end of the ShockJet. It does not require a tailpipe, so it is simple and light. The turbine is angled down 6 degrees for proper flight characteristics. The bottom of the fuselage is covered with aluminum duct tape for flame resistance primarily during start up. The fuselage comes with the 4 blind nuts already installed for quick installation of the Super Bee.
	For quick and easy installation of the elevator and rudder servos, the mounts are installed, and the pushrods are already made to the correct length. We use inexpensive analog Hitec HS-645MG or HD-2550A servos for all the control surfaces. Even with the inexpensive servos, there's never any flutter, and the plane can climb easily on knife edge due to the tall fuselage.
	Under the wing there is only the fuel tank and glow plug. Thus the need to remove the wing for repairs at the flying field is minimized.
