Where do I find these small Propane Canisters you guys use in your planes.

Thanks,

Is this the "Starting Gas Tank" Part#1015 ?
they do not explain very well and also what connections hook up to this?
Thanks

sbriar,
Download the jetcat manual found on their website. It shows all the connections to the propane as well as main fuel tank

You need Part No. 1015, Part No. 1005, Part No. 1006 (2), Part No. 1003, Part No. 1008, Part No. 1036 and Part No. 1013.

Using a T connector, Part No. 1006, you connect using poliurthane tubing 4 mm (Part No. 1003) the One Way Starting Gas Valve Part No. 1005 and a Starting Gas Probe Part No. 1008. You use this to fill the Starting gas Tank, Part No. 1015.

On the other side of the T connector Part No. 1006, you connect the 4 mm Ball-Cock Valve Part No. 1013 for venting the gas tank after flying, for model storage.

On the Starting Gas inlet you use another T connector Part No. 1006, one side to connect the Starting Gas Tank with a 4 mm tubing comming from the first T connector, and the other side to the Fuel Shut Off Solenoid Valve (you need one of this for gas and the other for Kero), Part No. 1036 - S and from the valve, to the turbine gas inlet.

Page 14/61 of a ECU manual is self explanatory.

You can download this manual from:

Hi Guillermo,
thanks for all your info, it is kind of above my head right now but I want to learn everything you are saying, I plan on building a plane for this engine and have found a pilot to fly it.
Do you think you could help me out in this project, I am only an Machinist not a rc piolet. I have a brother inlaw that only cares about rc planes and he is an expert that could fly the plane, I just need to know what kind of plane to build .
Thanks so much and if you ever need any machining done we could sure do some trading.
Thanks,

Unless you REALLY want the propane in the model you can just hook up the large propane canister
for starting then disconnect it once the engine is running. It's almost standard procedure with the
jet flyers in Australia. Simpler, lighter, one less thing to explode if you crash! - John.
