Sweet! I had checked a couple of vendors a week or so back for D20 White-Lightning Q-Jets and couldn’t find any. Guess I need to look again...



Edit: FlightSketch had stock so I bought four packs enough to get over the $35 minimum order for free USPS Ground shipping.

I imagine that got up and away in a hurry. The Fast Jack D18s get one going pretty fast.

+1 to what BEC said. Gorgeous capture.
I have four of the D20-8W Q-Jet (2-paks) due here on Monday from FlightSketch. I can’t wait for our field to reopen in February 2021 so I can try a few in a cluster flight

Also flew the 1:200 SV again on a D20-4W, figuring the missing small fin may have contributed to the less than straight flight. So fixed that, and added a tad of nose weight for good measure. This time it got a little higher, before shredding all 4 clear fins. It popped the chute just before the ground, so no other damage. Time to order more fin units, and figure out how to strengthen them, while keeping them visually unobtrusive. The fins have held up fine with D16 flights, interesting that the extra 1 N-s and higher initial thrust make such a difference.

Great capture, love the flame I can’t wait for my D20’s to get here!
Sorry to hear about your 1:200 SV
