EDF to Turbine Conversions

[458destroyer]

Has anyone ordered a thrust tube that was a proper fitment for the Freewing Avanti? I want to order one but there are so many sizes I am afraid to order the wrong one.
Would really appreciate any links of thrust tubes that fit this aircraft. Thank you in advance!

We made a one off tank, about 30 oz 11” x 2.25x 2.25

Awesome! Do you still have the mold? If able, would you be willing to make two more. I'm looking for those exact demotions for my eflite F/A-18

Does anyone know where to go to buy a barbed 4mm fuel shutoff valve?
Really want to stay away from the festo valve before the x45 fuel pump, probably not going with UAT in the Avanti as others have successfully done.

Im using a festo shutoff valve in my X45 install with zero issues. Jet cat sell a barbed shutoff

Where did you get that fuel tank from? How many ounces does it hold, and what the detentions?

Most of the turbine guys, including myself, use DreamworksRC for everything turbine

Has anyone done a conversion of the FW 90mm F-15??

A lot of room in there!

Funny you should ask. I recently converted one for a friend. Made a custom frp tank that hold 30 oz. it flies great.

Here is the video of the Sortie! This jet is powered with the K-30g3. Jets burns more fuel, but is louder and faster than the X-45 version

Got the x45 ordered and the Avanti ARF from motion is here., now to HAB and a way we go!

Awesome! Have fun with the build conversion

Boys I just had a a nice and aggressive "Air Show" type flight last week with my FW T-Bird F-16. Printed and and also modified with functioning speed brakes that worked perfectly in flight for landing. Also threw a centerline tank on her

Check out my thread in the jets section of rccanada.ca

Yes I would like to know more about EDF to Turbine conversion. I found a current Youtube video call "EDF to Turbine Foam Jet Conversion" by Essential RC which seemed to be very informative. The guy in the video uses a Freewing Avanti 80mm and it's set-by-set. I'm just waiting for that person to come out with their (Part 2) video of when he is fly the Avanti. As far as turbines I know nothing about. Do anyone have any suggestion on which micro turbine is worth looking at. How do people feel about the Xicoy X45 turbine.

Hey Mike,
We met at the CVRCC Jet Jam this year, and I shot a video of you describing the conversion of the FreeWing F-18 to turbine. I think that I am ready to do that now, and I want to talk to you about that. I think I lost your number. If you can call me, that would be great! John Maxwell 951-840-7624
