Got Jet Fuel? Turbine Helicopters > fuselage cooling

I was wondering if anyone has put electric fans inside of their scale fuselages for cooling the fuselage ?

I am thinking of puting small electric fans inside my fuses to help get hot air out of the fuse, as the pipe and turbine do get rather hot, and i think cooling screens/vents can only do so much. A small fan can run for quite a while from a separate 4.8v battery pack, and would keep the back of the fuselage a lot cooler ...


opinions ? coments ?

Wojtek I think you should go with liquid nitrogen to keep the fuse cool!

Wojtek, are you using a straight pipe single wall design or does your pipe have a bell mouth and double wall design? The double wall design will allow secondary air to cool the pipe and also help draw some of the heat out of the fuse. I think on some of the scale gas helis a fan would help, I was considering putting one on my Robinson instead of the auxillary mechanical fan. I found some computer fans that look to be of considerable volume for there size. By the way I have all of your school bus parts together!
