Very nice!
I have one of the planes myselve and was thinking the same thing,
Can you post some pics of the installation?
Thanks!

RE: PROTECH F15
 

Here are a few more pictures

i sat the turbine rails on the elevator plywood plates to give correct thrust line.
cut the front hatch out and fitted both battery packsto a ply plate on the nose
no lead was required as the balance was spot on

if it will be easier.
Thanks!

RE: PROTECH F15
 

I did forget to ask what did you put the C/G at?
180 mm?
Thanks

RE: PROTECH F15
 

CG is at 225mm as instruction sheet , i think the Kolibri is pushing about 3.5lbs thrust

RE: PROTECH F15
 

Any more details of the engine?

How much did it cost? Where did you buy it from (any UK dealers)?

How does it run?


The F15 looks great and that little engine would be awesome for the club field.

RE: PROTECH F15
 

The engine is available from Martin Lambert in Germany www.lambert-modelturbine.de i dont think
he has a uk dealer.

the engine runs well and starts very quick with the supplied 12v air blower.

The cost, his larger turbines are cheaper but this little one is about £1700.
