The air connections can be seen in post 54 on page 3. there is plenty of room to group servo and air connections between the wing and wing saddle area of the fus.

You can buy retracts designed for the Turbinator from Shulman Aviation. Or fit your own like I did. They are not included in the kit. You can also buy the fuel tank designed for it from it also is not in the kit.

Chris,

What size or type / brand retracts is best for the turbinator? I wrote and email to Shulman Aviation but never got a reponse back from them.

Best Regards

In the Turb that I built prolinks were used. Contact Todd at Dreamworks.

Well, I recieved my Turbinator ARF a few days ago. No progress yet, just getting a few things in line for the assembly.
Big thanks to Shulman Aviation and Jets Over Kentucky! I was lucky enough to pick up a 50% off certificate at the pilots dinner.
After the demise of my Shokjet, I needed a new anytime, anywhere jet. I will push it through ahead of the BIG 18 and get it flying hopefully before the New Years Day Fly In and Turkey Fry.
Will be pushed by an ancient amt 180 and some of the stuff out of my Shokjet.

I'm just using some cheap knock off wheels and brakes with a simple on/off valve. Will likely get a up6 soon.

My Feedback: (38)

She flys!!! test flights went great. definitely need a different brake valve. up6 on it's way. It a perfect plane for club fields and everyday flying.

Screwed mine on with 5/16" button heads since I was pressed for time(backed up with 1/32 ply), seems to work fine. I would have glued it with Formula 560 if I was not in a rush....

Thanks Todd! I think i'll use the glue!

I glued mine and added a fillet to smooth the edge. Didn't quite match the paint buts its close.

Thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it.

I've got another question,....pertaining to the decals....

Whats the clear sheet of film for? I'm assuming its a release film.?, what the best way to apply the decals? With or without the release film.

thanks again!

Randy M.

My Feedback: (38)

I believe it's for transfering the diecut decals. I have yet to put any on my plane. I don't plan to use any of the supplied decals.

This thread covers the ARF, your scratch building one from plans. Not sure if it all translates over, I imagine the plans would have accurate detail for CG and throws for this version?
