Full lineup of Swiwin Turbines available here! Thanks for watching! www.thelightersideofrc.com/shop
Man that exhaust housing glowing is so awesome to me. What a triumph of technology.
It really is! I love the improvements with all this stuff! So FUN!
As they're designed to be moving quite quickly when at higher throttle settings, maybe have a decent fan unit (edf would be ideal,on one cell less than spec.) to fire a simulated airstream at the inlet?! You're already wearing cans, so it wouldn't hurt to try it and see...😮😊 Love your attention to details, making each build truly custom.
Thanks Keith!
Its awesome nice to see this check and I am surprised on this engine, greetings from Remi from Belgium
Thanks Remi! Thanks for watching!😎
Been thinking about that engine. I am a JetCentral guy and love the lua app with my Jeti radio. If I get that engine it will be a different GUI on my Jeti. Have to think about it.
There are Lua Apps available for Jeti with Swiwin. Also standard telemetry direct from the ECU works great.
Nice!! Great video..thanks for doing this type of tests...would it be posible for you to do thrust videos of kingtech turbines?
Yea, can do. It's typically easy if I get a new turbine in and run it on the test stand before install but I can probably still make it work on some of them.
9 minuets full throttle, very nice. I look forward to my first turbine one day, maybe a small one for the bench 🤓
Go for it! Fun to have just to play with And attract the neighbourhood kids and dads!
I totally agree if, an engine manufacturer is giving you grief regarding quality, then there's no point using their product.
😊😉. Glad you get it!
So what were the issues with the other manufacturers engines ?
Feel free to get in contact with me.
thanks you Jonathan very interesting, love mine
Thanks George!
Dang that altitude really hurts them thrust numbers.i feel for ya .. but the swiwin turbines are just amazing. I got rid of all my kingtech turbines and All my jets now have swiwin turbines I couldn't be happier
Yea it's amazing how the density altitude hurts the performance. on a hot summer day we could be at a density altitude of 5000-8000 ft ASL. Love the SWIWINS! best comment from my customers.........They Just WORK!
amazing turbine ! the temperature on the screen is in celsius or Far ? have a nice day ( 5H26 here ). when the next video ?
Hello Philippe. Temp is in Celsius. Friday morning!
Hello!Please,the Kero plug(burner)is internal?Need to disassemble the turbine tô exchange (to remove)? Yours channel is best!Thank you!
Hello. Yes the glow ignitor is internal and requires dismantling of the turbine and re balancing. Thanks for watching!
@@thelightersideofrc Thank you for attention,you are too kind.I learn a lot from you!Congratulations for Channel.Cheers! São Paulo Capital-City Brasil
I fly the JR 28x and T44 have you been able to get any telemetry data from the Swiwin? I have a 140 on the way, thanks for the review 👍👍
Hey Terry. I probably should be more of a fan of telemetry but sadly i'm not. In the interest of Swiwin and JR I did plug in a line from Telemetry on DRM/ECU to the input on a receiver. Nothing happened so I gave up.😂. V Speak does make a Telemetry Module that works with JR and it shows a bunch of info. I'm pondering on weather to stock these in the store but still thinking on it. I would have to try one first.
hmm thats sure a nice orange GSU holder lol🤣 great vidieo nice power out put on the 140 size
Thanks 👍. Some Awesome Guy made it for me!!!!
I'm not familiar with the swiwin turbines but it does peak my interest, I've been running jetcats and kingtech's but I'm always looking for more options. Are you running turbine oil with the kerosene?
Hey. Thanks for checking it out. I used to be exclusively Kingtech and just recently made the switch. Yea using 5% oil. I’m using KT oil as I have lots but the Swiwin engines are less picky on oil choice
In my opinion jetcat are lagging behind now in smaller turbines thease are the way forward
@@alanjets agreed!!!
Hy, realy nice testing videos. Love your channel 👌🏻
I have a question, what do you think, i want to sell my used Jetcat p60 from my AF MB339 to put in a Swiwin sw60b, is that a good option? The swiwin is newer, lighter and have less components to install...
Greethings from Switzerland
Thanks 😊. You will absolutely love that upgrade! Also your plane will fly better being lighter! Probably one of the biggest changes you will notice aside from weight is the throttle response
Great clip luv it.....!!!!
Thanks!
Impressive engine, are they going to manufacture a turbo prop in the future?👍
Thanks Kim. Yes I think we will see a turbo prop in the future. I suspect they will focus on the 45 ish release first.
Can you do a review of the 120n turbine?
The Swiwin 120 is basically a 140. So No real reason to do so. There will be a slight improvement in fuel savings.
Hi there. I've been trying to help a friend to maiden his HSD Avanti with a SW80. But every time I hit 50% throttle the turbine shuts off. we tried several changes on the throttle settings without success. Could you please help? Thanks
Hello Victor. Shoot me an email and I’ll give you a hand. Send me some screen shots of the settings please.
@@thelightersideofrc Thanks a lot! I will contact my friend this weekend and get the settings.
Sounds good.
@@thelightersideofrc long holiday and my friend didn't show up. Maybe next week
👍
I am looking to put a 120 in a EA Viper Sport. The engine range is 85-120. Since SWIWN doesn't make anything in between would this make it a little heavy?
Hello Brian. Depends on a few things. Are you flying at sea level or at some elevation? If your not at sea level a 120 would be ideal. If I was getting that plane for our elevation it would get a Swiwin 140. Same physical size and weight as the 120.
It's a shame you lose so much thrust to the elevation. In Nova Scotia, we don't suffer that issue. Nice engines, and I just received a new X90 from Gaspar, and I'm amazed at the output these new generations of turbines that are very small compared to older turbines of the same N rating.
Yea it does stink. I always knew we did but it is nice to see the actual number now that I have the test stand. We definitely have to plan for it. Yea it's crazy to go back 10 years and see how things have changed and improved! Love it!
Just in time.
😎👍
Hello. where do I buy the usb pen from ? (That is the usb key to change the image on GSU and to download data from the ECU) ?
.
👍
I've been flying the sw140b since 2019 but never tested static thrust... Was expecting a little bit more than 11kg tbh 😔
I mentioned in the video and description that I am 3200 feet above sea level. DO keep in mind that at that elevation we loose about 15% ( +/-5% ) of thrust. So if your at sea level your likely getting 14kg.
@@thelightersideofrc that makes absolutely sense, I lost that part of the video 😝
👍😎
Hello, could you tell me where to get altitude-velocity characteristics of this Engines?
What are you looking for?
Dependence of engine thrust on altitude and speed@@thelightersideofrc
Hello
Have you run these engines on diesel?
I have not. No problems with diesel for the turbine but I don't run Diesel. I suppose I should do a test with diesel on the next one I do a test on!
A new Swin Win 12 kilo turbine engine worked for a few minutes and then the plane while traveling on the ground went into a pit and while working the nose of the plane broke and the batteries flew out of the plane and disconnected when reconnected this is what appears what to do?? 1:58 ua-cam.com/video/_3MizAKzMik/v-deo.html
It appears you have a battery plugged into the ECU but it is showing 0.0V.
👍
😊
Man that’s long noose is ugly
