Nice scheme..... 👍

How did you mount the landing light to the mains strut?
Did you use thermally conductive epoxy?
Or a screw with thermal grease?

I didn’t know the Pro was available in this scheme ... very nice looking plane

I’ve used hysol to mount lights on struts and so far, so good.

skymaster68

My Feedback: (4)

hi! I used hysol as well to attach the lights to the strut, works really well...
building is going fast, have done both wings and elevator plus rudder...
there are no surprises as expected..
the quality of the kit and hardware is outstanding !!!
Pictures will follow

Are you planning to break it down for transport, fuse too?

skymaster68

My Feedback: (4)

no, my plan is to leave this fully assembled at an hangar That I have at the field....

skymaster68

My Feedback: (4)

some pictures, wings, stab and rudder were pretty fast an easy not much usual work....
turbine is mounted and aligned, electronics are placed were they’ll go and I’m gonna use a jeti fuel flow telemetry module on this one...
planing the maiden for next week!

Be aware of possible fuel flow restriction issues when using the MFlow; there have been a couple reports in this and the other forum
Did you go with the 800 or 3000 unit?

My Feedback: (4)

didn’t know about that, i’m going 3000

3000 should be ok. IIRC most reported issues were larger (flow) turbines with the 800
Just keep an eye on your pump voltage/power telemetry
Some people have even recorded Pw with and without the MFLOW on ground runs to verify setup
before maiden

Just out of curiosity have you had issues determining fuel tank level without the MFLOW just using the ECU telemetry ?

skymaster68

My Feedback: (4)

not at all, just want to try the Mflow, i’ve always used just the timer

I'm sure you saw my posts in the other rebel pro thread. I think the CARF version is coming out notably heavier than the Pirotti versions. I've read of some in the 33-34lb range.My CARF was about as simple and lightweight as possible(other than the bigger turbine, Swiwin 220) and came in at almost 37lbs. IMO, the 220 is 'decent' power, but if they ever come out with the 250 I will be switching out.

‘I have run that, in one of my jet for a couple season...work ok, but for the $ I decided to run the CTU instead...if your on a Jeti -24 series...you might want to have a look at them...Aeropanda have them, far better then having an extra item in the fuel stream.

My Feedback: (4)

yes i’ve seen your posts and also saw your video and still I’m going with 180G4...
i just think its more than good, I’ve been flying 2 friends max’s on 210 and there is plenty of power... if I want to go faster I’ll get a bolt 🤷🏻

Hi Dansy!! Thxs for your imput, I also have a CTU laying around some were The idea was to use it in my Carf SU27 but never did... anyway i’ll keep that in mind

Joe1199

I am currently building the same model, I was wondering if you had any close up photos of how you mount the tailpipe? front and rear?
The kit is very straight forward without any instructions, it just appears my thrust tube is a little small for the rear former

I am using a Jets Munt 210, Powerbox Core, Futaba S9177 all round, really looking forward to getting it done

wow nice color swap!!!
unfortunately I’m out of town for work so I had to stop the assembly, I’ll be back next week to finish it and take the pictures if you still need them...

Joe1199 that looks amazing. Great color swap and inventive layout. Love the look of your Pro.

The front is mounted with the carbon/foam and the little wood piece that was I the hardware.....the pipe is basically suspended with that light bulkhead....the one I assembled has been flying all summer...

As for the back portion, I did have to sand it a little, I always mount the pipe just a little loose so they can expand easily.

Joe1199

thanks for the info and comments, how is the pipe itself suspended?

i have the Grumania pipe not the CARF one, it has some steel wire with the hardware kit, is that part of
it??

i am considering mounting the pipe the traditional way with right angle pieces behind the turbine, then keeping the fuselage in one piece most of the time

Nice clean build!

Dansy

My Feedback: (53)

With a single screw on top in the middle....Ya I know I didn't know if that would hold...but it does just fine...the card pipe come with a single hole at the straight pipe entry.....and screw in the little ply....i did change the ply for real A/C Ply and a little longer to capture the brace at the back...all hysol in.

For your pipe you can build something different I'm sure....I used CARF way because they also use it in the mephisto..

Joe1199

brilliant Thankyou for your help 👍
