Great Anton, thats helps. Looks like the turbine was mounted too high in Dantley's plane, will have to fix that. Also we were having problems with the pipe fitting properly, it does not seem to want to sit low enough without being smashed on the bottom of the fuse. It is also hitting the stab horns in the rear Anton, what do you think?
Hey Ian,
I have skymaster mig 29 flying with a p200 and with the standard pipe non vectoring. The horns hitting the pipe is not an issue. You just have to play around with the jetcat engine mount to centre it in the pipe or glue some ply to the turbine mounts in the plane. My pipe also touches the fuse and will do so with any turbine thats installed. I have some ceramic blanket between the fuse and pipe. If you were only running it on the ground over time it may be any issue but in flight with air cooling its fine. I have only 6 flights with the 200 so far but the standard pipe is holding up well. The other thing you have to do is move the front fuel tank far enough forward so you can move the turbine forward enough to allow enough space between the NGV and tailpipe. Another option is to cut the tailpipe at the bell mouth. Cutting it at the other end wont work.
