Our manual seems to get around. I need to change the default settings that are listed. These were straight from Swiwin and are just starting points. We update the manual all the time. Here is the location of the manual. I also have a 5.5" X 8.5" formatted version that we release with our engines if anyone would like a copy.

swiwin_manual_02262020.pdf

Sw-jets and hobby king both have older versions posted.

As a note, we service motors 8 days week from 8 am to 10pm, if anyone has any questions call us or write.

As for testing engines I think most people selling engines know to test them. We have a full lab and shop and every engine is tested extensively.

There are some idiosyncrasies about this especially Jeti. I do have the Vspeak unit and it works very well.

Andy I have the Xicoy Telemetry 6 for my JetsMunt to display on my Jeti TX. My buddy has the vspeak on his Jeti and he has to toggle to Jetibox to display it.

This is/was a production by Warped Perception. We sold the 300 engine to them and something did not seem to work as planned. We are working with them and had planned on a retest but with the new video from CM, I am not sure this is necessary. We'll see in the next few weeks. The one thing to note with the WP video is that for the RPM reached by the 300 on diesel, the output is spot on with the thrust curve. See below.

I'm still getting to know it ... It took a while and the help of Doug Ives and James from Esprit to figure it out. I will be adding an update to our manual. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Hi Paul,

I am playing some catchup here... our manual yes. Call us anytime 8am - 10pm. If you have not figured this out yet, send me some pics of your setup screens then call. These parameters were taken straight from Swiwin.

Can someone take a look and tell me what the correct parameters are for the Swiwin 60B? Thanks!!

Pump Limit 7.5 10.0

They are in final stages of the 80kg turbine test phase and it should be coming out soon

In most of the videos I have seen, it looks like stainless steel safety wire is being used to secure some of the fuel line connections. I assume this technique is the same as being used in the full scale aircraft industry. Is it necessary to safety wire all tubing connections or only those without barbs? Also, what diameter stainless steel wire is to be used? Thanks!!

I use this, really I'll safety wire everything, dont want air bubbles sucked in, or spray fuel anywhere

I have a roll of .025 stainless lock wire from my aircraft day. I personal like a larger diameter so it doesn't pinch into the hose.
Lockwire all tubing onto lines and filters to prevent any air from entering the system and causing a flame out.
Lock wire is used to prevent bolts and nut from completely coming apart when they get loose from vibration.
Blue UN anodized fitting are commonly used in aircraft.

I am pretty sure I answered you directly on this on FB. I suggested to turn a 400 down if the dimensions and weight are within the bounds of what you need. I have not heard of a 350 coming up but I can ask.

The manuals for both my Futaba and HobbyEagle gyros state the are to be used for electric models only. What is the best gyro to be used for our turbine models??

PowerBox iGyro, Demon Cortex are probably the best and most popular

Thanks! If you disregard price, is one better than the other?

My fire extinguisher finally arrived so I was able to run my SW60B for the first time today. Everything was perfect. No flames, smooth quick start, throttle and telemetry working just fine. Many thanks to everybody here, CRX, Nova-Jet and Bad Boyz RC for all of the help!!! I appreciate it!!

Is there a turbine between the 220 and 300 on the horizon?

I'm ordering a 240 this week. Its the same size can they use as the 220, but here in the mile high club every extra lb of thrust helps lol

Are they doing this with more RPM or is it a larger compressor? I hope they come up with a better fuel pump with less connections.
