The He-162 Salamander has a superb high speed and low speed landing characteristics. A “fast build” 50 hour kit for those of you who want to fly ducted fan jets with limited time and building space. This is an excellent turbine aircraft equipped with the AMT Mercury or RAM 750 turbine engine.
Fuselage: Pre-primed, epoxy fiberglass. All plywood bulkheads are laser cut. The main wing spar mount and landing gear blocks are interconnected for added strength. An extra layer of 6-ounce cloth over the landing gear door area provides added reinforcement and reduces building time. Fan access hatch and cockpit are pre-molded. Intake duct system comes pre-molded. The fiberglass horizontal stab interconnects with the main fuselage. Alignment marks insure proper alignment and ease of installation.
Wings: The foam wings come pre-sheeted. The modeler installs the heavy-duty aluminum plug-in wing spar system. Fiberglass horner wing tips add a touch of class.
Landing gear: CJM Centurion retracts with 1/2″ diameter stainless steel functional oleo main gear struts and our 3/8″ stainless nose gear strut with a forked yoke are used to insure reliable takeoff and landings. To open and close the doors, we offer a complete retract door kit. Tires and Brakes available.
We also offer many options like a laser cut plywood package, wood package, and accessory package. Glue, finishing materials such as 3/4 ounce cloth, paint, tires, etc. are not included. We also offer a Turbine He-162 option which comes with a tail section made from high temp epoxy with carbon fiber tape. The He-162 is an excellent turbine aircraft with easy access to the engine. The fuselage can easily handle the jet fuel requirements. In the event of an engine flameout, you can easily glide and slow speed to the field safely.
