Amt Pegasus HP pipe
Hello guys, just wondering if anybody has had any good performance with aftermarket pipes for the latest AMT Pegasus HP.
My problem is that I have an Avonds F-15(old kit), and the fully ducted setup with the standard pipe is severely limiting the engine.
What I plan to do is to remove all the bypass ducting and use a bifurcated pipe with a bell mouth set up. Does anybody have any actual
experience with this same airframe/turbine combination? What pipe is being used?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Frankie

Frankie,
I'm using a Tam's bifurcated pipe with that engine in my BVM F-4 as well as a larger one for my Olympus powered Rafale. I'm sure Tam has one that will fit your F-15.

RE: Amt Pegasus HP pipe
Yep....Tam do indeed! Stuff is practically perfection.
Used his bi-pipe and my original Pegasus (22-pounds) in an Avonds DF-to-turbine conversion F-15 years ago; up-graded engine to 30-pounds, so installed Tam's larger bi-pipe. Have a Tam's bi-pipe in my Eurosport w/ my AMT 400 (larger diameter pipe like the upgraded 15 pipe was). Just tell him what it is for, the engine size/thrust, give him a length dimension...it will come w/ a bell (flared intake) and tabs for no a by-pass installations. Leave 1/2 to 3/4" gap from the rear edge of the engine nozzle and bell inlet front edge. By-pass.....give him those size requirements. DOne them both ways..no bypass more efficient/easier.
Great stuff.
