Boli Muentes’s Composite ARF Tucano

Bill Hatcher — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 16:03:48 +0000

What can I say about this plane. It has seen coverage in a few different magazines. This is the COMP ARF Tucano.
This plane is powered by a Jet Central Turbo Prop. The plane came in at 42lbs Dry. It fly's great. My favorite part of seeing this fly is the smoke system. When you dump the smoke oil into the twin stack you get two smoke trails. Cool to see. I am doing another Tucano that will be finished in Oct of 2010. This one belongs to a friend of mine and I will be able to use it to fly formation with Boli.

Roberto Perez’s Pilot-RC Extra 260

Bill Hatcher — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 15:57:19 +0000

This was a plane I built for Roberto for him to learn to fly larger planes. The Pilot planes are a great valve in my opinion.
all the hardware is usable that comes with the plane. In the photos you can see how we packed it for shipping to Puerto Rico. The plane arrived with NO damage and it was even shipped UPS. All Roberto needed to do when he got the plane was bolt the gear and the engine back on and he was ready to go.

Shazam Kianpour’s MIG 21

Bill Hatcher — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 15:55:46 +0000

When I had this plane about 3/4th done Shazam called me and said he had gone to the field to watch his friend fly his Mig. Shazam said he could not see the plane so he sold it before he ever got it. He sold it to Mike Lin from Global Jet Club who is flying it today and loving it. This was a difficult build because of the Fuse shape. There is lots of blind work inside the long tube of a fuse. Lots of time I had one arm stuck into the cockpit opening and one arm in the engine bay working in between the two by feel. I guess I got it all good as Mike says it fly’s like a dream.

Roberto Perez’s Fly Eagle BIG F-16

Bill Hatcher — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 15:36:25 +0000

Roberto lives in Puerto Rico and I built this for him. He also has a house in the Orlando area so this is where this plane stays.
It was a very easy build as there is room for everything because of the size of the plane. This one is powered by a Jet Central Mammoth. Lots of power. I even used the Retracts and air valve from Fly Eagle and had no problem with them.

My Personal Fly Eagle Jets F-86

Bill Hatcher — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 15:25:35 +0000

What can I say I have loved the F-86 all my life. When Fly Eagle announced that they were building a big one I was one if the first 10 to order one. I love this plane. Building it was straight forward. No problems. I did find one place that I reinforced the wing at the gear plates but that is all. The plane comes with fuel tanks that will hold 240 oz but I just installed 2 tanks that will hold 150oz and this gives me 7.5 minutes of flying with fuel to spare. This plane has operating canopy, Leading edge slats, and speed brakes. Lots of stuff going on in this one. My F-86 is powered by a Jet Central Rhino.

Eric Clapp’s Fly Eagle Jets L-39

Bill Hatcher — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 14:16:12 +0000

This is a nice small plane. The biggest problem I had in this build was getting everything in the plane. But as you can tell from the photos I was able to make it work.

Andy Kane’s Twin Engine Fly Eagle Jets F-15

Bill Hatcher — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 14:05:42 +0000

Some of you purist out there will say this is a Navy Paint Job on an Air Force plane. Well this is the paint job that Andy likes so we did it this way. This plane has 2 Jet Central Eagles in it. They are the Andy Kane special edition. Some of the things I did for this build is added some louvers at he rear of the plane to relive some of the pressure from inside the plane. I also build custom Smoke tanks so the could have a smoke system on this bird. The tanks hold 50+ oz each so he can carry 100 oz of smoke oil. And the After Burner lights are beautiful in the air.

Mabio A-10 – Engine and Radio Install

Bill Hatcher — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 17:01:32 +0000

Although I did not do the build or the paint work on this plane I did do the engine and radio Install. My main concern was the engines needed to be serviceable so I made the fuel and electric connections at the fuse so that the pod could be removed for easy access. Here are a couple of photos of my install.
