This is so great you really know your stuff!
That has probably made some of the posters on here spit out ther false teeth with laughter, i got that info from a previouse thread on turbine kits, Sara who used to be on here posted that comment, and as it was back a few pages i copied and pasted it,
" she sent me an email protesting i did not acknowlege she was the Author"
I have been flying turbines for 18months/2yrs, and at first have struggled with them, as they did scare me, i loved flying my PHT3 in a hotcat, and regretted selling it, i then tried the large XLV conversions, smaller pod and boom Acrobatic with 2 stage turbine, and have found adapting to a turbine from my competition 90 size Nitro machine uncomfortable due to the mass and cost.
I preferred my PHT3, and, got very comfortable with that , which is why i am having a new one built, well i started building it, took it down to a friend and they stripped it back down and rebuilt it doing some mods on the way.
Like you i have absorbed a lot of info,i like to know why things work on a turbine, so i know the manual and know how to programme the ECU well, i got a lot of help from JETCAT owners on here with the mechanical side, and gradually picked up other stuff, i would have never have attempted changing an o ring, but i have managed to do a couple of them without the need for re soldering, plus done other things, i have learnt how to programme the ECU and make changes and understand the effects of those changes. etc,
Basically all it is, is a bigger more expensive power plant, once you get over that mental worry, they are a real pleasure to fly as i have found.
Which is why i am going back to the PHT3, i preferred this turbine above the other.
i am just waiting for it to be completed as i have changed the head to a Raptor 90 quick uk all metal head, and a few other parts.
i hope he gets a move on.
