hi guys , I have a jj1400 and want to put it into my 35% yak (as a turboprop).
I need a turboprop part as i have the turbine, jet joe does not make one as of yet. so does anyone know of who makes one seperate of the turbine.
I really dont want to have to bue another turbine as i like the jet joe.
thanks chris
Heya Chris.
I'm not sure how well you'll go with your project.
AFAIK, TurboProps run the Turbine 'backwards' i.e. the inlet to the compressor comes from the rear, and the exhaust comes out the front - diverted by backwards facing curved exhausts. Have a look here:

In addition to that, you'll notice that the Turbines shaft (from the exhaust end) feeds a gearbox arrangement - I don't think that that is simply a 'bolt on' attachment - your Turbine's shaft would need to be replaced with a longer one with the correct drive-gear etc. attached.
It would be interesting to read how you get on.
Please keep us posted...
