Hi everyone, sadly I lost my Carf Joker this week. I’m looking at replacing it with a Mini T1. Does anyone know if my Jetsmunt 100 XBL will Physically fit in? I know it’s one of the smallest 100’s. Be a lot easier if I don’t have to sell/buy another turbine.

thanks Tom.

I have a JetCentral Bee SE in mine and it fits. Looks like the 100 is about 8mm wider. There's plenty of engine rail to grind some away if needed. As for length, I'm not sure as I don't see it on JM's website, but the fuel tank can be moved up.

thanks for the reply mate. It’s 204mm long.

how does yours fly with the 100 in? Does it “feel” heavier in flight or still ok like the lighter builds look?

The Bee is an 80 size engine but the JM 100 is probably close weight wise to the Bee. It doesn't feel heavy in flight and comes in fairly slow.

thanks mate. I will do some more research and also have a good read through this thread and make up my mind. 👍👍

I got some linkages that I really don't like. The rod in the photo is being bent in order to fit on the ball link. The ball link needs to be moved to the right in the photo, the yellow arrow. Moving the servo isn't not the easiest option as the mounts would have to be moved. Any reason I couldn't put a 3mm washer under that ball link between the ball link and the servo arm? It looks like there is enough thread on the bolt to still go all the way through the nut.

Anyway, I don't see a problem with doing that but wanted to ask because I've never done that before.

Well it won't let me post the picture....So I guess is it ok to put a small washer between a ball link and the servo arm?

Yes, no problem at all.

Thanks, didn't think so, not idea why it would but thought I'd ask because one never knows everything.

Need to post a pic. So here is a good morning post!

My T1's tank has tons of these holes in the outer layer of the tank. Dozens, maybe 30 or 40 of them all over. Not sure if I should be using this tank or not. Doesn't seem to leak. There are so many, I'm guessing I'd have to just rewrap the entire tank in another layer of FG if I was gonna repair. Never really done much FG work before.

Is this normal for FG tanks?

Yes it’s pretty normal, install the fitting and pressure test it…..need very little pressure like 1 lbs is more then enough….I do that in a sink…..if you see bubble mark the area and sand it and re-apply some epoxy let it cure and repeat….I don’t think you will see any

Thanks. I did just that a minute ago, just blew some air in it with my mouth. Hope not to much, didn't leak anyway. At least I didn't see any bubbles for the 30 seconds or so I held it under the water with that pressure.

This is my fourth T1 Mini, this one is powered by a Xicoy X90, my other two are powered by a K85 and K85G4. Hoping to maiden this week.

When measuring the rudder throws, are you guys doing it from the top of the rudder or the wider bottom?

At the wider/bottom I'm at about 50mm, at the top I'm about 25. I usually just eyeball my rudder throws.

I always do on the bottom…..

Personally, I put in all the rudder I can get and still be even both directions. The rudder isn’t very effective so I don’t think it’s possible to overdo it.

demolish

Yeah, that's what I typically do but didn't want to put it in a knife edge and rip off the tail with that almost 50mm I'm getting.

My Feedback: (46)

The vertical stab is part of the fuse and I'd be pretty impressed if you could rip that off. I had slightly more than the recommended throws (because that was all I could get out of mine) and if I wasn't at least going 3/4 throttle it wouldn't hold knife. If I could have got more out of mine I would have dialed it in.

In the milliamp forum in Spain there is a mounting thread of the Fortune T-One

Hi Guys, I have just bought a WREN100N Turbine,,, it's 90mm Dia, and 250mm long... has anyone managed to get an engine that size in? from the pictures, looks like the Dia won't be too much of a problem, but how about the length???

Cheers,

Bob

It should fit but will shift the fuel tank forward a little….the pipe could be cut a little as well…so the fuel tank doesn’t move forward too much, these is with the k85 205mm long and 82mm wide.

Will this tank fit in the mini?

my main tank had a leak coming from the seam of the tank.
