Or don't the 5js need a forward counterweight. That's a very good observation. Yes, it does. On most BD-5J's you are required to have some type of ballast on the nose, usually lead bars. On Bishop's jets, the ones being used for surrogate cruise missile work for the military, we resolved this by replacing the huge NICAD batteries with gel cells and moving them forward behind the panel. We also moved just about everything else that could fit in there. The specialists who did the installation said they had never before managed to fit 2 pounds of **** in a 1 pound box. I can send you pictures of that installation if you like, it's amazing. I designed the panel layout but the real work was done by the installers. OK, you bought the project 98% complete then pay other people to do your work for you. Have you done anything at all on it? Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |

Watch your EGT, don't let it go too high, slowly bring the RPM up to a stabilized idle around 51-55%. ... And after that? You operate it as with any other turbojet, and monitor the instruments. |

Have you done anything at all on it? I can't help it if your reading skills will not allow you to read logs. Maybe you can get your ex-wife to do that for you. Or are you paying someone else to work on her? |
