He just flew his turbine converted SR-71 and even though he said it needed a little more work as it was rocking the wings a bit. he said it looked good in the sky. I might get to fly that soon as well.

Yeah we have been flying a turbine converted F-16 V2 for about 6 months now. I made a custom equipment tray for up front,used a custom 1lt bladder tank in the hump because the shape makes standard fuel tanks a compromise, and I made a hatch for access to the tank. lower cheater delete panel and thrust tube support rings for the tail cone. It's a buddy's model but I have 3-4 flights on it now and LOVE it. great fun, It's still on my Tx so will get a few more flights on it soon enough.

Hi,
Here's the start to my FW F-16 conversion. After that, it's the F-15, then the Blackbird! All with single X-45!Attached FilesLeave a comment:

Hi,
Has anyone converted the Eflite Viperjet, but installed the turbine into the tail?

What parts did you fiberglass??Originally posted by Khairil View PostHi everyone. I've just complete restoring the F/A 18 Blue Angels. The jet was not mine but i pick it up (trash) after the pilot crashed it and broke into pieces. Took it home and start to restore everything. Decided to apply the fibre glass and repainted it. From Blue Angels, she is now Grey Ghost 🤣. I am now converting it to turbine. You may also check out the video on youtube https://youtu.be/L-c35Rzu4Vs

That was a good flight! I wonder who makes a set of wheels/brakes that would work but not add too much weight...Originally posted by T-CAT View PostLeave a comment:

At the 4 hour 38 minute mark in the video below, someone who converted it to a turbine jet using the Xicoy X45 flew at the Horizon Hobby Airmeet 2021 event right after the EDF version flew.Originally posted by Shaun Evans View Post

I've just finished my conversion of my Freewing F22 Raptor using a X45 and I must say, it's my best flying small jet yet! Very quiet in the air and the flattened home made pipe fives a real throaty growl at military power!! It balances without lead by having a 2200 battery in the nose cone and my home made one litre tank fits right over the CG and take-off weight is about 4.3kgs, so a 7-10 minute flight is possible. Here are some pictures of the build and a hat-cam video of a flight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc1Vzg5KxRkAttached FilesLeave a comment:

Gas fuel tube and fittings are ok for kerosene and deisal, just make sure you don't have any silicone tubing anywhere. Also a pump suitable for gas and kerosene has to be used.Leave a comment:

I am new to turbines and want to get a proper refueler. I know Jersey Modeler offers a nice setup for kerosene but way too expensive. Slimline offers a Flilghtline Refueler that is a manual pump setup but advertises it as a Gas refueler. My question is, are the refuelers that can be used for gas safe to use for kerosene. I would not want contamination if the seals, tubing or pumps would deteriorate using kerosene. Any help would be appreciated.Leave a comment:
