RC Turbine Jets

RC turbine jets are one of the most impressive parts of aeromodelling — fast, realistic, and incredibly rewarding to fly. Powered by small gas turbines, these models deliver true jet performance and scale presence in the air. At KAMS, turbine flying is treated with the respect it deserves: we focus on safe operations, good airmanship, and helping pilots fly confidently.

What makes turbine jets special?

Turbine jets combine precision flying with scale modelling — from accurate paint schemes and retracts, to realistic flight lines and high-energy passes. They also demand discipline: turbine start procedures, careful fuel handling, and clear communication with other pilots.

New to turbine flying? If you’re interested in jets, come down to a club day and speak with our jet pilots. We can point you in the right direction on airframes, turbine sizing, radio setup, and the practical steps required before your first start.

Jet Days & events

KAMS hosts special interest flying days throughout the year, and jets are always a highlight. These days are perfect for spectators too — plenty of scale models, turbine starts, and fast clean passes.

Want to see turbine jets in action? Visit our Photo Galleries or check the Events Calendar for upcoming Jet Days.
