    Hi, great conversion kit. I like the accuracy and neat placement of the accessories installed in the jet as for the Turbine which size can be used can the 60 or 80 size fit?

    • @paulappelbaum3284
      @paulappelbaum3284 14 днів тому

      Xicoy 45 or 60 size can. Anything larger will require some foam removal around engine. I don’t recommend anymore power than 50N

      Zeus is the best followed closely by the T33. Avanti next then Cougar

    • @davidhollfelder9940
      @davidhollfelder9940 2 місяці тому

      Thx. The Zeus. .. hmm that’s a surprise since it has a bad habit, when the hor stab gets blanketed. I guess, knowing/dealing with that is manageable.

    • @paulappelbaum3284
      @paulappelbaum3284 2 місяці тому

      No experience with the K60. Don’t known why everyone is complaining about the Zeus landing. I think it land the best of all the conversions. Aft cg is the answer. Nose comes up nice. You can carry power on landing No tendency to drop a wing at all

  • @davidhollfelder9940
    @davidhollfelder9940 2 місяці тому

    Comment/you answered my question, and that is did you notice any bad habits, as the hor stab is nearly in line with the wing (hor stab is lower than most of this design .. below the nozzle instead of above), and gets blanketed when the flaps are down. High alpha, flaps down, slow speed = hor stab stall …

    Paul. This is fantastic work you’re doing. Back when I flew my first turbine foamy, there were very few options back in 2015. I just knew a small turbine jet was possible, however practically none existed. I have an early (V2?) HSD Super Viper 105, that I still fly, albeit many mods/upgrades/ improvements to this very early version.

  • @davidhollfelder9940
    @davidhollfelder9940 4 місяці тому

    Thx for the reply .. New question Paul .. which foamie turbine conversion were you most satisfied with, weighing the time/effort/resource, best flyer and flight times.

    • @paulappelbaum3284
      @paulappelbaum3284 4 місяці тому

      Zeus best flight time. T33 best flyer. They all fly good zeus is easy to convert. T33 needs to be very organized up front. Viper fairly easy to convert. Avanti is hardest

    Hey Paul great build series! I noticed you are using a Castle 10a BEC, is this what you use on all your foam turbines? I was just concerned that if you have say 8 CH on a receiver wouldn’t that potentially be too much. Castle specs state they will only support 4 standard Non-digital servos, essentially a small plane?
