pcs of art!

They all work, the only difference between them, is like that between a BVM Bandit and a Fly Eagle Liberty, they both fly but one of them is the proper job that looks the part as well as just working perfectly

The air trap built in to the tank was the reason I bought the Al's Hobbies version. The conversion kit is very well thought out, made from top quality parts and easy to install. My Habu has about 40 flights on it now and everything is perfect.

ppl will just trow many question to you on the 2in1 fuel cell

Althought all conversion sets working great (Ali, Dave,Tam), they all have one disadvantage....
The fueltank is way in front of the C.G.
A friend of my flew the Habu 32 with one of the above conversion sets and the pitch trim changes during the flight and the way the airplane rotates on take-off feeled as a heavy loaded airplane.
So we modified 2 Habu32's and partially removed the air intakes and use a different fuel tank so the fueltank is installed exactly on the C.G.
The Habu32 flies so much better now. No more pitch changes during the flight, rotates much better and feels much lighter on the stick during the whole flight! :-)

Really ?

I never noticed any change at all, plane took off by itself.
But I fly like a hand-cuffed crab

The P20 version can't be any worse/better than the electric version with a 6 cell LiPo inbetween the air intakes the only difference is, Amps don't weigh anything so no trim change during flight.

Out of curiosity I checked out Al's Hobbies website in the UK, and they have a complete Habu 32 with turbine conversion and P20 kit for 1900GBP (a little under $3,000USD). For Tamjets conversion kit plus P20, its $3,025 and you still need to buy the airframe for $350. Of course Tam's upgraded undercarriage would be even more, but I didn't include that to keep the comparison apples-apples.

Al's Hobbies combo looks like a good deal unless I'm not adding something up right.
