Default RE: Yellow F22 Build

Got my new Pipe from Tam today!

All I can say is WOW money well spent. The old Pipe had many flaws. For one it had a sharp edge inside at the split.(thats where it cracked) Another problem was the thrust vectoring fit over the inside pipe so the double wall was cut short and did not get air from the main pipe to suck out cooling air through the double wall.

Tam made the entire pipe with smooth bends and made the pipe a little smaller so that the double wall can sit inside the thrust vectoring. He also made the double wall thicker at the back where it sits inside the nozzels. Very well done. Cant wait to get her out flying now!

I also added a small 8oz center tank to help with the flame outs. I guess I am just thorwing the plane around to much
Moved the UAT tank to the bottom of the fuselage also so its lower then the main tanks.



First pic is the crappy yellow pipe.
2nd pic is the rear of the new Tam pipe.
