I do like it when a motor allows you to convert it yourself. I have seen a few times when issues with the kero start required a conversion back to propane. I have seen some guys able to do it in the field.
I perfer to not have to strip down and rebuild at all LOL, I prefer to fly rather than fiddle with the turbine every time I go to the field, never had a problem with my JetCat or Merlin and in truth never seen any problems either, when JetCat first brought out the external Kero start they did have problems with early burn outs, but that has been addressed on the latest version that's been out for about 18 months too 2 years now, have not seen one post on this version having any problems.
LOL.. was user induced.. Accell to zero, plug to max.. why o why do we fiddle with something that comes out of the box running fine!! By the way, the other one converted was a P120 Jetcat.. LOL again.. Windy conditions.. earlier Jetcat Kero

Also consider the JetMunt Merlin 90 the Merlin is 90mm wide, I have one in a Sprint and its an excellent internal start Kero turbine, service from Gaspar is exemplorary, but its a small but, but a but it is, the EGC and sensor cables are permenatly attached to the turbine, this prevents any quick change to another airframe you may wish to do, I do not know if the Rabbit and Wren are the same, perhaps gooseF22 will confirm.

Mike
Wren still has the EGT probe and RPM sensor on a long cord for the small motors, however standard servo extensions can be used. the Larger motors are plug and play types with the Ethernet plug for the sensors... dont know on Jet C..stuff..

IF you were to want to swap frequently, add extensions, or mount ecu closer to turbine... that would go for any turbine with permanent wires. have done both..

So...Larry, confused enough?... welcome to turbines... The point is to pick something you will enjoy.. remember its a hobby.. have fun and fly.!! see you out there... Its alot of fun to get a gang of turbine guys together and fly, cuss, yell, talk crap, and fly some more and each other thinks they have the best stuff... "definition of a hobby".

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

What say we start the New Year by being a little bit more tolerant with each other.

I have a Navy Nano coming but was wondering if the blue on the wing botoms can come off? is there grey underneath or wood?
I just wanna change it up a bit from others at our field. what about the blue pinstripe on the top too?

Penstriping comes off easily
dont know about the bottom. Its easier to lay new monokote over what you want. Use Rapidtac lubricant.. the new will lay right over the old. then when dry, just lightly iron it. the rapidtack will take out the bubbles by allowing you to squeegie it out.

done it alot on other planes to spice up an arf..

Blue isn't a bad color on the bottom.. it will always be dark anyway.. the hardest part of the Nano to see is when its just rounding the corner and coming just nose on. You could benefit by putting a light color on leading edges on the navy bird. Im going to add white to the wing of mine. I lost it on a cloudy day for about 5 seconds last summer... was no big deal but got my attention

Thats a good plan. just overlay the blue with white with rapid tac.. then the chrome on the LE edges slightly over the white.. its really easy.

Hello gentlemen!
I have a Nano on the way. It will be powered with a JC P-60SE, and as such will the Dubro tank be too small? Also does anyone have any experiene with the TamJets gear for the Nano?

Thanks!

1_hellover...

The 50oz dubro tank is fine for the P60Se. We have that setup in one of our display models and it gives a very safe 6 mins flight time. In the same model we have the Tamjets gear fitted and it fits and works fine.

Regards

Colin

Just picked up my Nano today at Motors and Rotors, I will be using a P60se, I also have the 50oz Dubro tank (1.5l)
Dave said it is slightly larger then 1.5l so will do over 6mins, I Have seen a demo model fly for 6.30 no problem, if you fit a hoper tank
You can run the main tank dry, can't wait to get it up in the air, had a few mins on a demo model couple of weeks ago.

Yep! Like Paul said, I have it in my mind that checking the 1500cc Dubro tanks showed it a good bit bigger! I'll grab one and check it again. Either way the Dubro tank and MAP/UAT give six and a half minutes of mixed flying.

Have fun, its a great little flyer.. I did shift the CG a little more forward than the book to get it to track smoother. about 1/2 inch or 12mm more forward.. It also makes it stick when you land it better. Started out with 10 inches, then 10.5, then 11 and settled on 11..

Another option on Gas is the kevlar tank that is available.. its 79 oz.. I have that and its really nice. I usually fill it most way and not use the taxi tank, so its about 70oz at takeoff. good six minutes with a couple go arounds, and a bit to spare.. but thats alot of fuel weight for the P60.. I would stick with the 50oz, and a 8 ounce hopper. I flew mine with the wren 70 on the 50oz tank at 5 minutes though, with little issues, but it didn't leave alot of margin.. the good news is on this bird... just drop the gear/flaps and chop it and land it like you do with your U Can Do or pattern bird.. its a breeze to land..

the flap has alot of drag, so watch getting slow.. I backed off the throw to about 45 degrees to get rid of the pitch change and sensitivity..

Quality price...So not really!
Quality metal and this gear set-up uses Jet 1A (the original) gear.

Gents:

I ripped the nose gear and buggered the very front of my Nano on a bad landing.

I have decided thatrather than repair, I am going to part out the Nano, and give a different airframe a go just to try something new.

So . . . I have the following parts for sale from my Navy scheme Nano. I will send pictures and details upon request. Prices include shipping within CONUS - insurance at buyers option and expense:

1) Left and right outer wing panels including ball link linkages and reflectix wing bags for each.$110 for the pair

2) Elevator with ball link linkages andreflectix bag. $60

3) Jettech fuel tank $105 SOLD

4) I have the booms with reflectix bags that include a built-in wing tube holder (and the wing tube). I am not sure if these are cost effective to ship or not as they are kinda long, but I am open to discussion on these.

5) top hatch / canopy/ cockpitwith pilot. $60

I have to inspect the retracts before I decide whether they are suitable for sale.
Just a reminder for anyone who needs some spares. I sold the tank and the landing gear, but I still have the remaining pieces.
