"CA glue and activator spray works very well. I've mostl used medium to thick CA."
Latest manual always in this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ad8lmi6j2bx4ev/RVJET%20Manual%20V2.pdf?dl=0
"There is also a typo in the end of the manual regarding the CG. The picture is correct and CG should be where the fins meet the wings. The text in the example setup mentions the CG being 25mm in front of this. That is incorrect. The RVJET is…"
"Ah, yes when I typed the manual I didn't know the strength of the kit magnets. A new manual is in the works and this should be fixed if we use the same magnets. Added to the to-do list. :)"
"Hmm, that is strange. How had you glued the magnets? The supplied magnets should be glued horizontally. in both the hatch and the fuselage.
Contact RV for a replacement hatch."

"This looks awesome. I'm very happy you chose the RVJET. For such a wide wing span I think you might consider adding funciontal rudders to the fins. The possibility for this mod is one of the reasons we made the fins protrude so far behind the TE."
"Hi guys! I'm part of the RVJET design team and we try to help anyone if they have questions or comments about the model. I don't know who the designers of HKGD is but would be very interesting to discuss with them since the design requirements seem…"
"Thanks for the comment. Especially today when HK started selling their copy.
Yes, initially we had plans for some molded or vacuum formed covers. This has not materialised yet and I'm not sure it ever will.
I'm not sure what you mean with winglet…"

"The PnT gimbal can either be built as pan/tilt or tilt/pan. That does what you're trying to achieve except roll of course."
"Send an email and ask for a better shipping quota, it seems the shipping calculator is a bit off. Also RV has been refunding excessive shipping charges."
"The X8 does have more wing area and internal volume so if the goal is to carry maximum weight and volume as possible with no regard to other features then the X8 beats the RVJET simply because it's bigger. That should be obvious just comparing…"

The nose mounted dome was the result of our design process (and a plastic design guru) and we evaluated various placements before this was chosen. As much as I like the Techpod, I first learned of the TP when you started your thread on…"

"Well in case anyone missed it the RVJET is now available for purchase. :)"

Well I'm one of the designers and we have AFAIK not closed any threads. I actually started a new thread when rclab1 decided to close his.
Unfortunately there has been a lot of ETA that has been impossible to fulfil. Recent event that are…"

"...however for most rudders is not needed and might not even be wanted so this mod has to be done by yourself. But fly it first and judge for yourself if they are really needed. If an extra fuselage or several extra extensions are added I guess the…"
"Boopidoo signing in, hello guys! :)
Regarding rudder it's true that the RVJET lacks this. However we did have rudders in mind when designing the fins. They extrude far enough behind the TE so it should be quite easy to cut out large rudders and the…"
