In most of the videos showing Seba hovering the Avanti S down low the airplanes were powered by JetCat P180s and were equipped with all of the recommended equipment. Only the Avanti S he demoed at Joe Nall last year and some of the Avanti S FC (Full Composite) airplanes he's demoed recently have been powered by the Jet Italia 250. That in mind a 180 does deliver enough power/thrust to hover as long as the airplane is not setup to be significantly heavier than what's recommended (and of course elevation/weather will have an impact on performance).

I purchased an Avanti S last year at Joe Nall and I'm finally getting ready to finally assemble it. I also purchased a Kingtech K140G along with the fixed thrust tube that was appropriate for that size turbine.
My question is, with a K140G in the jet, is it possible to use the thrust vectoring tube or would I also need a larger turbine? I'm not so interested in raw power maneuvers such as hovering but
things like flat spins, and some other maneuvers that would benefit from thrust vectoring may be fun.

Or you might be able to mount a nozzle separate from the pipe (after beefing up/adding structure accordingly), similar to what is done for the larger Avanti S XL (aka XXL):

I just had these stands custom made for my Avanti. They fit perfectly and replace the foam one that comes with the airplane. Walter Hess, of Hess Woodworking in Burbank, CA is an avid RC pilot and loves to make custom stands for the locals here at Apollo XI in the LA Basin. I don't want to sound like an advertisement but these are really nice and really a bargain. If you're interested I can pass along his contact info.
Avanti Custom stand is $50. Contact Walter Hess (818) 563-3388 at Hess Woodworking.
It exceeded my expectations for craftsmanship and quality.
Can't thank him enough, highly recommended.
I'm glad I found him in this thread.

this will be different for everyone, I recommend you do the inflight setup on your igyro. The manual also talks about getting the optimal speed setting as well. Are you using the gyro on the thrust vector part only or the control surfaces?

I have 8411,s on all my surfaces no issues whatsoever. They are small surfaces compared to giant scale 3d stuff and like Mike said if it's good enough for Seba ..............

Seems like you all finished building and I am only starting now! Thanks for the great advise guys! Fitted Savox 35kg all around just to make sure. Bought IGyro but no idea yet on how that will work but testing it on another craft with no success yet...patience! Busy with Engine (KT17) fit with pipe(TV). The fuel tanks keep 5l which I think is 170 oz? Looks like enough fuel? But I noted the wheels not the same during braking..one solid and one moving...hose length?

Currently a Merlin 140, but planning on thrust vectoring and M200 soon. I have pushed it, but not as hard as I can or usually do; but only because I'm still getting "dialing in" the CG and getting comfortable with it. I have no reason to think it won't handle anything. It is very well built and flies great!

Hi
I bought me a Krill Avanti S that i keep on building , i think the plane looks good and I am really looking forward to the maiden .
One question for you, I see no Krill Avanti with wing FENC mounted like Sebart`s Avanti S ... you know why?
I've flown Sebart Avanti and find it flies wonderful, and i hope Krill Avanti will fly the same way . Do you now why i don`t see Krill Avanti with wing FENC on youtube ?? the Wing fenc supplied the kit.
Are there advantages or disadvantages with wing FENC ?
Best Regards
Morten

I have the Krill LaRacer color scheme, air retracts and JetTech tank. It is with my builder, Jet Central Cheetah, Grumania pipe, Powerbox iGyro 3e and full Jeti radio/telemetry. JR servos all around on 6V
The finish is pretty good...not the same as an Oxai 2m F3A, but very good nonetheless. The only comment is the fuselage seam due to painted in mold....it doesn't bother me.
I am looking forward to spring for the maiden.
