RE: Yellow Aircraft F/A-18 Twin Turbine onversion
I haven't done the conversion but I did own one for awhile. The D/F version has a weak main wing bulkhead at the front of the engine hatch that MUST be reinforced for turbine use. There just isn't much strength in the area above the inlets.
Mine was converted long before I got it and was flown extensively. I gutted it when I got it, cleaned up the internals and built a new turbine mount. It weighed 35 pounds dry with a Merlin 160 and was a hoot to fly.
BTW Carlos, mine used 2 dubro 40oz tanks next to the turbine and a dubro 50 oz in front of the inlet
