Default How To Build RC Jet Turbine Exhaust Tubes

Hi Guys'n'Gals

I've started this thread in the hope of pooling together ideas and experience from those who have built RC Jet Turbine exhaust tubes - both single and double-walled.

Any info you have regarding the initial calculation of the tube length, front and rear diameters, offset between the tube and the Turbine's exhaust, and dimensions of the bellmouth etc. would be great.

And of course, the actual build - what materials to use, how to shape/form them, how to spot-weld/other kinds of welds etc.

Pics, pointers to other threads/material - all most welcome...

Regards,

BJ
