Default RE: Help Tail pipe distorted/melted ???

Thanks for reply guys.

I sleep when you are awake here is OZ sorry.

Yes 2 degrees measured by incedence meter. I did not think this was much, but if you stare at it long enough you can just see it. I did this to get the correct thrust angle at the exit of the pipe for neutral model thrust FE F16.

It did distort badly in the direction of the 2 degrees however, so this must be part of it. But come on as you say barely visible by the naked eye so I am sure others have plus or minus 2 dgrees.

1 inch from the rear of the outer tail cone of turbine Falcon 100 23 pounds. This is the manufacturers specs 1 inch min to 1 1/4 max gap to bell mouth.

I bot the digital verniers out and get approx .15mm stainless thickness. I am thinking this is too thin for the job or poor quality. I have never heard of anyone else having this issue???

FE are going to send me a replacement if I pay for this shipping. I just hope I do not have the same issue???

I was planning on patching this one so I could at least do the maiden in 2 days. What you think????
