Johnny,

The one from ht-modellbau was on display at the last Jetpower meeting. All mouldings were nicely done and quite light, it is probably more accurate than the MR one. I believe that it was entered in the jet world master a few years ago ( Reto Senn I think). Here's the link but it's not listed on their wensite. http://www.jetarrows.com

Was it HT-Modellbau or was it Senn-Modellbau who had it on their stand at Jetpower?

That one looks a little smaller then the Mick Reeves? I test flew the MR for Gordon and was very impressed with the way it flew, I dont think that the kit is equally impressive. It was powered by a P-120 and is pretty big in size, I know Gordon is in the UK for Holliday but when he comes back Im sure he can give you some good information seeing as this project took a good chunck of his life.

Yes, But it isactually made by Reto Senn which is why it is not on the HT website. I don't know if Reto has a web site. Both models are nice kits, not ARF's, but less work than a MR kit. Not cheap either. The larger of the two is smaller than the MR kit and a bit small for my personal liking. The smaller one would suit a Wren 44.
Reto told me he was planning a bigger one[8D]

Thank you very much for the replies. The first picture ( the white one ) posted by Florent, who's kit is that ? That looks like the size I'm looking for, is there a link to that particular manufacturer ?

Thanks again.

the white one, used by Reto Senn at the WJM was a Westbury kit, sligtly modified to be fully scale...

i don't know if they are still in production...2 years ago they wasn't...[]

The Westbury kit moulds are at Jetline in the UK...but he does not do anything with them.

I have a Westbury Hunter, it's too small for a P120, I'm fitting a KeroStart P60 to mine-the original flew well on a JPX T0240!

Careful Dave isnt jetline owned by that nice andy bloke maybe he has that much money he doesn't need to do anything with the moulds mmm sniff.[8D]

Here's a link to my Westbury Hunter build thread. Getting closer. [link]http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_2192636/anchors_2192636/mpage_1/key_westbury%252Chunter/anchor/tm.htm#2192636[/link]



I also have some info on the HT Modellbau 1/6.9 scale one, the price a year ago was approx 2200 Euro for the 'graphite version' from Hans Laubscher. The picture they sent me didn't show any 'graphite' so it may be the smaller one, but I don't have a price for it.

Thanks Paul, what size turbine does the one on the picture above take ( the green and orange )?

The original Westbury Hunter was powered by a JPX 240, 10lb of thrust I think. I plan on fitting a Wren 54 SuperSport at around 18lb. A P80 will also fit. Mine will hopefully come out at about 20-22lb dry, so anything from a P60 up should work well. The P80/ P120 is probably the biggest physical size motor that would fit, but as it used to fly on 10lb thrust a P80 is more than enough for scale flight. Maybe even a Wren 44 Gold would be a good fit as this would be over 2lb flighter than the original JPX.

Reto flew a www.flightfactory.ch (his company) Hunter at the JWM. The kit has since been sold to Tomahawk and, according to Reto (who told me this at the JWM in Germany in Aug), they have made several improvements.
