Default Larger pipe for FEJ F-15 1:7 / P-200SX

Hello guys,

I installed a P-200SX in a FEJ F-15 1:7:

I can feel the thrust is not what im usual to with a P-200SX, and i think the pipe sie is limiting the thrust considerabely.
Can anyone recommend a better pipe for this jet / turbine combo ?

thanks.

I remember that F15E custom paint scheme. The pipe comes with the model is not for P200 engine. You should get bigger pipe for P200 for sure.

by the way, good video on that F15E.

Thanks

I run an AMT Oly in mine and yes the pipe is slightly bigger, better quality, and causes less power loss. Tam is familar with the plane and got me my pipe in less than 2 weeks.

I have had no problem with my FEJ pipe, but I have never had single/twin pipe. You can specify the thickness you would like FYI.
I opted for thw twin on my F-15 so I cant say anything about the single or how thrust would compare to the tams.

Tam's pipe is worth it. I'm sure anyone who has owned a Tam pipe would say the same.
