White ducting has nothing to do with it. If anything the turbine will need to be moved rearward. It is the clearance in the bypass i am questioning. The inlet to bypass connection is what it is.

How far is the tail cone supposed to be from the pipe???

Does anyone notice when you bolt the wing on,that the wing sits up a little at the back. Mine seems to lay on the bypass and sits about 10 mm above untill you tighten the wing down. I don't have the engine in yet but I assembled the bypass and inlet ducting ,and noticed this when I bolted the wing on. Seems like it would be ok, just want to be sure. Thanks ,jack.

I see CARF just put the price up on these by $400! It's now more than the Hawk. Guess the price on the Hawk will be going up as well

Jack, normal until the carbon goes through a few heat cycles.

22-25mm from back of tail cone to start of pipe.

CARF Had a through the board price increase after a long period with fixed prices.

Doug,

i tucked a 170 in my classic, fully bypassed w/ fod screen and while there is minimal space around the turbine it runs great, no overheating problems. at top speed it does cause the bypass to make a sound (a deep roar) but no problems from it.

Thats not the bypass making the noise, its wind buffetting off of the wings at speed - lol.

that's a negative, it's the bypass, i installed cams to find the source.

The new prices are due to an increase in labor rates, something about a new law that would increase it by 40% those rates. The shipping for me to Brazil also increased from U$350 to U$500, I guess Carf is only passing the increases from EMS and labor rates and not actually making more profit.

No problem. You will love it. It really is a great flying aeroplane....worth every cent!

Has anybody used the full stock main, wing and optional 2 saddle tanks? I am curious on the flying time.

Well got the gear in. Ended up getting them pretty centered just by tweaking them in the mounts a bit. Came out alright.

Successful test flight tonight...Jet Central Super Eagle...JR 9 ch Power Safe/12X radio. Electron retracts with Dreamworks Prolink struts. Perfect flight. ZERO aileron trim and just a little pitch trim. Balanced at back of range with no extra weight. Timer set for 6 min and landed with saddles 1/2 full. Feed sequence is main to saddles then to UAT. Flies like its on rails...I love it!

BoomerSooner

My Feedback: (80)

Nice! you have any pics with your saddles installed?

tp777fo

My Feedback: (28)

No I dont. It's a tight fit but they work. You must remove the flange from the intake sides and reinforce the intakes with f/g tape. I also used the full bypass, this jet is amazingly quiet.

BoomerSooner

My Feedback: (80)

Im in the process of building mine and I was thinking about using them instead of the wing tank. Did you glue them in or are they removable?

AFTERBURNER1

My Feedback: (80)

Main to saddle to UAT????? Everyone I know does saddles to main to UAT. Might leave you a tail heavy draining the main first,,,no??

Tight squeeze with a super eagle??? How much clearance do you have around the front of the motor for bypass airflow?

tp777fo

My Feedback: (28)

Tight fit...not glued in. Fuel.works well so far, a little nose heavy at first the nice in flight after a minute or so. The only prob is you cant see how much fuel remains until the wing is off.

I run a 170 as well, fully bypassed and with FOD . No problems at all ... You can also cut a few round holes in the bypass cover both forward of the intake and slightly behind the lip of the FOD screen. This will not induce any drag ( suction over here ) and will allow more air into the system providing more thrust, as well as cooling the surrounding area by drawing in surrounding hot air from the fuse cavity ..

Boomersooner, when RCU will let me post some pix I have one of my saddle tanks, bypass and all the stuff.

Sweet I'd like to see it. Yeah I finally was able to post a couple this afternoon.

Hello, I am building the wing on my UF - but are having trouble setting up the flap servos. The problem is that the linkage hits the spar (i.e. the cutout in the spar is to small to compensate for the arc when the servo is working). Can I just make the hole bigger - or will this weaken the wing. Has anybode else experienced this - and what was the fix?

Hi,

I was thinking of using an AMT 280 Pegusas in my UF for the time being. The bypass however does not really fit the engine...Do you guys think its a big deal to not run it? From what I understand, half of the people run a bypass and the other half do not. Im thinking with the thrust of the engine(28-30lbs), it should not be an issue. Should I run the inlet joiner with no bypass or not?

Thanks for your time...

Robrow

I just made the hole large enough to clear, no issues with strength.

Bypass use is a personal decision. The airplane will be fine without and actually easier to do the emgine and tank install. But it sure is quiet with it.
