Types of Engines
I myself is actually a novice. I have flown a few times. But I am actually an pilot and an A&P in training. But what are the types of R/C engines there are for R/C aircrafts. All that I know of is Piston and Jet. Im just wandering is if there are Jets with Turbofans, Turbo Props. I can prablly build this stuff but it will take forever and have Plenty of Jet A w/ Prist.

RE: Types of Engines
If you guys are refering Diesel Jets with JET A, Jet fuel is Kerosene Based. Ive seen someone playing idiot today putting AVgas 100ll into thier small J-3 cub today. LMAO the engine blew up.

RE: Types of Engines
I only have like 2 months under my belt working with Cessna 02b. One thing i do not get is that for the boom fuel tank the pieces of wood that are 2"X4" are like around $40 a pop. And it is maple when you can go to lows and buy several pieces that are 2x4 and still get is alot cheaper.

RE: Types of Engines
i have built and flown rubber band aircrafts. I used that film on my last one. With the torque of the prop it rippes the plane into pieces really fast. I couldent help but laugh.

RE: Types of Engines
I had links to two different turbofan jet engines but they both are no longer valid. I'm currently working on a 1/8 scale S-3B Viking and would like to put two micro turbofans on it. If any one knows of any links or contact info to someone who is building there own I would appreciate the info.
