Very helpful, but I do have a coupe of questions if you don't mind. I notice you mounted the turbine offset vertically (slightly lower) in the fuselage than the factory mounting rails using the plywood shims. Since the thrust tube is contacting the top of the fuselage I'm assuming this offset is necessary to align the center of the turbine exhaust with the center of the thrust tube, correct? I also notice three machine screws inside the pipe, what to they attach to? Finally, what turbine is that, a K85? Any other pics you can provide of any noteworthy steps during the build would be appreciated, and hopefully a flight video if your customer is so inclined.
Thanks again,
David
