RE: How To Build RC Jet Turbine Exhaust Tubes
How much are you guys overseas paying for the Stainless?
I just got a couple of quotes today for -.010" (0.254mm) 316 grade stainless - 1000mm x 305mm for around AUS$130 a sheet, or 1000mm x 600mm for $140 a sheet but with a $60 cutting fee, which makes it around $200 a sheet.
I really need to work out what diameter my pipes would need to be on a 15kg (30lb) thrust Turbine before ordering, as a 100m diam pipe is going to need around 314mm of material, plus overlap - so a 305mm sheet isn't going to work...
