Bypass tailpipe temp?
Roughly what is the temperature of the outer tailpipe with the Ram 500 and BVM bypass. Do I need to worry about melting my fiberglass fuselage?

Bypass tailpipe temp?
I use a bvm 500 bypass and one of garry muelers double walled titainium/stainless pipes, which is actualy lighter than single .02 walled one I also had but never used. I would say that in my maverick the fuss would get too hot with a single walled pipe.

Bypass tailpipe temp?
Hello Jason,
I did some temp reading when I was setting up my SimJet2300 and dual wall single pipe. While the engine was running the outer wall of the pipe did not exceed 41deg C . This was far cooler than I thought. However the temp did rise to about 75deg C straight after shutdown. This would suggest that the use of a cordless blower after shutdown to keep air flowing through the airframe to be a benefit.
One interesting reading was that while the test bed was sitting out in the sun without the engine running the temp reading was 49deg C.
Regards
Bruce
