Jet tubes
 
Does anyone know the optmimal distance between the turbine exhaust and the start of the jet tube? I am building a PJP Jets 1/6th scale Hawk with a Simjet 75 N turbine?

Optimum distance varies with turbine and install. Best bet is to make a thrust tube un which the location can easily be adjusted, and to work out best thrust/temp ratings by trial and error. Will cost about 2 liters of fuel and half an hour work, but will set you up with the distance that works best your specific plane.

Best regards

what is it the 1200?

keep about 3 fingers of space between pipe and end of exhaust

Is that the end of the exhaust, or the end of the exhaust cone? A 7N is a 17.5lb thrust turbine.
