Default Nexus?

Is there any info on this engine? I see Simjet lists it in the price section, but that's it.

Thanks,
Shaun Bell

Hi Shaun.

I know that the engine is almost ready for release. I'm wating for mine. Lars told me that they are waiting for the last few parts for the turbine. But it's a whole new set up of production tools, so it takes some time. The engine will put out some 36 lbs of thrust. The first engines should be out soon.

Simjet Nexus is out already, but till now there is no one reviwe about this turbine yet. I 'm interested to know about this engine also. BTW, can this Nexus 3600 fit into a Yellow Aircraft F-18 Twin? Was worry that the engine might be too big to fit in.

Hi X-Spec

Thank you for the interest in the Nexus 3600. The Nexus will fit easily within the Yellow Aircraft Twin F-18. It's the same outer diameter as the standard SimJet Engines.

As for a review, I'm not sure if there is one in the works through SimJet or not. I will let you know when one is scheduled.

Sincerely,
Ed

Hi James

The 3600 Nexus comes standard with the SimJet FADEC ecu by Gaspar, Flightworks pump, gas and fuel valves, display terminal, on-board start tank set, tubing set, 2200 Mah LiPo battery, Graupner charger and mounting clamp. The only thing you would need to supply are a few fittings and the rest of the fuel system. For a little more detail, follow this link to our site:

Ed

HI X-spec

I got my Nexus last summer. I installed it in my Euro. There's plenty of space around the turbine, as you can se from then pictures. right now I am building a Y/A F-18 Twin for a Nexus. I think it will be a good match.

Hello Jameswilliam.

I will

I have 3 liters of fuel in my ES. Enough for 6-8 minutes depending on, how much power you use. I think I'm gonna go for 3,5 or maybe 4 liters in the F-18.

Hello X-sepc

The NEXUS as available today, is rtaed at 36#. There has been no updates of any type to this engine. It is supplied with a 2200 LiPo battery, Graupner charger, unboard propane tank Data Terminal & Gaspar ECU, Hassel pump tubing and fittings, operation manual.

There has been a complete review of this engine in the current issue of RCJI mag. I highly suggest that you read this as it contains much insight on the design of this engine which sets it apart from its competitiors.

I have them in stock at this time for immediate delivery.

Please contact me directly if you wish to discuss in greater detail. [email protected]

Thank you for you interest in the NEXUS.
