Default need turbine for 83% turbinator

I'm finishing a 83% turbinator and will need a turbine soon. something in the 12lb range would be nice. air start or electric start. If you have something laying around you want to be rid of, let me know.

I'm still looking. I don't mind old school. Dig around in the garage guys.

Would a JetCat P70 - about 17lbs thrust - be too big?

Yes, a 12lb'er would be about right.

P-70 is a little big. Not only in power but physical size. The distance between the rails is 3 1/4 in. I could cut it out up to 4 in. and still have a little room for mounting brackets.

There's a ram 500x on RC Groups. It's supposed to only have a few minutes run time on it. You may be able to get it for $1000 or less.

Randy I have two low time autostart Wren 54's. One is on a Boomerang Nano and the other is on a Sprint. I also have a 83% Turbinator that I was planning on putting one of the 54's on. I have a CMP T-45 that I would like to put a Merlin 35 or Jetcat P-20 on so I was thinking about selling the Sprint and Nano and using those funds to finance it. Do you ever make the Afterburner jet fly here in Mississippi? Might be able to work something out.

CP- not really sure how the 83% came about. I think because LDS had already cut a few and it puts the span at about 60in.
Hal- sounds very interesting, a 54 would be about perfect. Have never been to MAB but have always wanted to go.
pm some details as to what you have in mind.
