Default RE: JetJoe OWNERS thread

Hey Steve,
Thanks for the reply, I'll be getting the "full auto fadec" setup, mine however won't be going into an aircraft, it will eventually be going into a 1/5th or 1/6th scale rail jet dragster modelled off a local car here, but thats a long term thing. I have designed a 316SS afterburner setup for it on paper, just have to wait until I have the engine so I can make sure all the measurements/dimensions are correct etc....then go about making it all work together. Fingers crossed!!

I'm expecting the EGT to rise slightly and the rpm to droop a few % when the A/B is operating but hopefully it won't be to drastic. I crew for a few "real" jet dragsters here in Aus and they have similar rpm droop problems accompanied by a small rise in EGT's, so one can only assume these little turbines will do the same.

Are you able to give me some approximate thrust figures and spool-up times, normal EGT's etc.. I'd really appreciate the info.

Cheers,
Smithy.
