There's nothing more beautiful than watching and hearing a turboprop startup. So awesome! I remember sitting in my dad's Kodiak every morning doing cargo runs in Alaska. My favorite part was always a startup. So cool to see it in RC. Thanks for sharing!
i dont like staring into a plane of rotation lol. i would love to see a tear down of one of these see how substantial the power take off is off the turbine to spin such a big prop like that
Just on video which isn't very exact I'm seeing a one to two millimeter wobble in the tip of that spinner cone. Not sure if it's mounted incorrectly or the shaft is bent but you should deal with that before you have a catastrophic failure!
How is the low speed rpm resolution for landing? Is there a significant delay in spooling up response if a go around or small fine adjustment is needed to land?
Oh yes, just like a jet you have a three seconds spool up. Actually, a turbo prop is probably more like 4 to 5 seconds so there is a little bit of a delay in RPMs when you push the throttle forward. You just have to know you’re landing and know that if it doesn’t look great, go ahead and go around it don’t take the chance or have an alone runway, helps as well.
Is a turbo prop worth it performance wise over a piston if you're still fixed pitch? There wouldn't be one fixed pitch full size turbo prop in the world. Or is it mainly for scale purposes not performance

I have to agree with you I love that sound when it starts up
@@warbirdmitchell4510 its awesome 👌

No, the propellers go in the right direction you can see the leading edge awesome turbine gotta get myself one of those😂👍🇨🇦
Beautiful! Those look to be Porter exhausts, is there a Porter in the mix?
It is not just in the works but it’s fixing to be painted
how much thrust you can get? sounds great
I never really tested the thirst.
that shaft...omg... this will vibrate like hell LOL
Great set up but yeah, that nose cone is spinning way off center.

So was that 6200 rpm at full throttle ? .. what prop are you running?
Yes it was 6200 rpm Mejzlik 24x12
@@warbirdmitchell4510 what is the shaft power??
Kw or horse power
@@FirstLast-tx3yj 7kw or 9.38hp

Well we’re talking about a model airplane here so it’s about the fun factor not the performance factor like an a real Full scale airplane
You didn't keep your phone long enough to see the rpms
Whats its price US
It is $4,500
I want to power a Jeep with a larger turbo shaft
You’ll have to go military and get a used helicopter engine from that project
Cover it with a Tesla motor in use the turboshaft on a big alternator😉😎
