Default RE: E-Flite F-4 Phantom P-20 turbine conversion

ORIGINAL: tamjets

Last night just clean up my plane and notice my turbine wheel is tight and it hard to spin over.
Took the engine and clean the dirt built up and fire her up.
Wow, I been flying with less power all this time.
As usual....me only fly. Didn't check my RPM because the engine been running many cycles not thinking had any issue.

Anyways there is more speed this F-4 can do.
Any thrust figures yet? Everything flies from tarmac, but I know some of the Habu32 have trouble with grass(small plane, small wheels, small engine ...obvious) and I would like to know what the devided pipe does of the thrust as I fly mostly from grass.
