A great flying sport turbine trainer, the Reaction 54. Built from an all-wood Bruce Tharpe Enterprises (BTE) kit, this model was flown on a buddy box by Bill Hempel who offered turbine stick time to anyone wanting to "feel" the power!

An as yet, unidentified F-117 Stealth jet. The all black model was turbine powered, but like the full-size, the details for this model and its builder failed to show up on my "editor" radar!

Flown by Sung Kim, this great looking psudeo warbird comes in for a low, high-speed pass! The model is a BVM KingCat powered by a JetCat Titan producing 34 lbs of thrust! More info on the jet event will be in our upcoming article in MAN!
