ORIGINAL: extra 300
Janne S,
Well that's definitely bad news. i have seen photos of your F-15, beleive it was the Japanese scheme. Actually, photos and video taken had a lot to do with the decision to go ahead with this project....
I feel like i have done a big mistake buying this kit after all....
I have 2 thrust tubes on order from FB as the one received with the kit is for single engine. How come did both thrust tubes collapse at the same time shutting off both turbines??
Is there any way that gear could be fixed??
Appreciate all the help you can provide from your terrible experience!!
Regards,
Dany
Yes it was the Japanese scheme.
Only one tube collapsed but that turbine threw lots of flames all around both turbines - so the healthy one sucked flames shutting that one down too [&o] At the time plane was quite far away so didn't catch it immediately and just got too slow and down it went.
I know that mr Patton fixed the original gear before flying the plane - you better ask him directly how.
I suggest asking some well known pipe manufacturer to replace those FB ones - I would for sure! Small investment for piece of mind...
