Default Rookie 2 thrust vector/engine nozzle overlap.

Hi, just doing engine install in Rookie 2 and was wondering what distance of overlap other owners have between the vector nozzle and engine exhaust. Mine is quite far back in the mounts so the front of the vector nozzle is not far off the rear of the engine casing, I need to shorten the front of it.

Thanks

Rob.

Rob

I set a JetCat P120/160 with a big exhaust so that there is a 5mm over lap at full vector

Regards

Dave

What are you guys using to make the pushrods? With the high temps I heard metal rods transfer too much of the heat to the servo. So I was thinking carbon fiber rods. However what do you use to secure the threaded rod. Glue it in with ca? Jb weld?
