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.

Hi Rob
I had to scoop out the tail cone top and bottom to fit the curvature of the engine tail cone.

ps has the auto start fadec arrived yet for my jg3000 ?

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

Who is the manufacturer of this unit ?and how did it work out ?

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?
