They didn’t but mine came unglued from the other piece that slides forward. I will glue it later on. Actually I had the black peace in the back warp felt bad about it but will try to fix it with hot water

Hi guys I have a question for all of you. I was getting ready to mount the tanks but I noticed the area under the tanks on the bottom of the fuse is very flimsy. It seems like it is extremely light and I am just afraid on a hard landing with somewhat of full tanks that the tanks will pop out the bottom. Did any of you have had an isssue with it? Did anyone actually reinforced with some fiber glass sheets or something else? Any input is greatly appreciated

Hi
Just checked the CG for the first time after build up - rather tail heavy!
How did you proceed? Empty tanks or half full? Have the nice (and small) LiIon-Batteries of Jeti as receiver packs and need probably heavier LiFe- or Lipo-Batteries…
Thanks, Daniel

CoG should always be done with tanks empty, UAT/header tank full.
i have two batts either side of front retract, two batts for rx opposite UAT, and one batt for turbine in front of RX batts. Balanced 138 grams nose heavy and flys perfect.

Hello,
I would like to buy this jet for an EDF project using a fan that is capable of 30lbs of thrust. I have the following questions if you wouldn't mind answering them for me:
1) What is the weight of the A/C without the exhaust pipe and fuel tanks?
2) What is the approximate size of the inlet area?
3) What is the distance between the turbine mounts and the rear of the jet?
4) What is the diameter of the exhaust area at the rear of the jet?
I appreciate the help.

I haven't taken the tanks or pipe out of the 2 I have but when I flew mine with a KT 100 I was more than pleased with overall performance and vertical so anything that matches that volume of air coming out with the efflux of the PAR fan will be close.
It no doubt has enough inlet area for a Dynamax which isn't a 128 mm rotor its FSA is smaller (the rotor diameter is only 125) but the turbine intake ducting needs to come out cause it necks down to around 115 mm
The mounts are big enough for a KT 210 with room to spare, I've flow my Odessy model with a KT 210 turned down so there's enough room for the modified dynamax. Caveat is you have to scoot the fan back seeing the thrust tube designed for the fan has a max length of 15 inches IINM.
The exhaust area is > than 100 mm needed for the Par exhaust but the pipe holder in the back is in the way and needs to be cut out, this and the intake exhaust were the main mods for a fan pretty simple

Thanks but that doesn't really answer any of my questions. As long as any given model can be operated within its design limits, it doesn't really matter what the original intent was. The fan I have is capable of much more power than many of the turbines being discussed here and it will push it just as hard as any turbine of equal thrust rating.

If you're thinking of one of Pars new 34+ Lbs fans for this model I was on the exact same track.

Its me buddy. I finally have some funds to build a jet using the 30lb fan.

Here's the highlights of the vids of this model flying with only 22 lbs of thrust from a KT 100 on diesel which I think gives the KT engines a little more kick.
I flew mine with the KT 100 to purposefully test it with lower static thrust turbine for this model.
My dry weight with the KT 100 was around 28 lbs so with 7 lbs of diesel the TOW was around 35 ish lbs, this is not a small model so I was pleased 22 lbs of push could get it going like it did with a little time and space.
For electric my plan was to go with 3 of the 6s 6000 graphenes OC'd to 4.35 which throttle managed would've given me enough flight time to be satisfied until I found a pack combo that fit and put out similar to graphenes with more AH.
I'm still more interested in the 5780 500 kv for this model.
The weight of the packs and the fan would've been less than the TOW weight of the model in the vid with the KT 100 full of fuel but with 3-4 more lbs of push at 3.9 volts settled under load with over charge.

Hi everyone getting closer to being able to fly mine. did any of you guys have to shim up the turbine to be centered in the tailpipe? im using a KT160 in mine. Also does anyone have some recommended setting for dual rates?
