Tamjets F-16 Instruction Manual - Warning

Tamjets F-16  

Instruction Manual 

WARNING 

This model is designed to safely operate with model turbine engines into the 13-17 lbs 

thrust range. Early pre-production aircraft are powered with a Jetcat P-60. We find that is 

plenty of power. 

We also flew with a P-70. We recommend the use safe of throttle management and keep 

the speed below 180mph.  

Every airplane has its safety limit. We tested the model harder than the most average pilot 

would normally fly.  

Pilot operation of any R/C model jet should be done by following safety rules and all 

manufacturer safety suggestions.  

Here is few not to do 

lists

.

1)

A larger, more powerful engine than suggested could cause excessive speed and 

possible control problems and/or structural fatigue and potential failure. 

2)

Pulling high 

G 

maneuvers at full throttle can cause structural fatigue and/or failure. 

3)

Caution-- when using the optional smoke system. Do not blind yourself and other 

pilots at the flight line. This can cause loss of control of the model due to poor 

visibility.  

The privilege of operating a turbine powered model aircraft carries with it an increased 

responsibility. Adherence to the manufacturer’s specifications and the AMA regulations 

are included in the responsibility. 

Please give serious thought before trying to modify or “improve” any facet of this power 

and airframe package.
