Pilot FC1 build, day 3! TURBINE TIME!

Today the FC1 takes its first step to becoming self propelled! We install the massively powerful JetCat P250 PRO V2, along with discussing the thought process behind the different fuel systems and we get the retracts in, eventually!

On one hand it’s annoying things that should fit, but do not. But on the other hand you are adding your own details and changes, making the Jet more personal to you. 👍🏻

With jets heavy clunks for sure but Mt 3d planes Def utilize felt for no leaning out from fuel slosh....jets utilize uat so it keeps bubbles from feeding into pump... the felt helps keep regular carburetor systems from pulling air into lines so I Def agree w your choices

They look like JP retracts and brakes, never had any issues with them.

You are a machine brother, you are very good at English 😜😂 a big hug

[@MartinPickering-PickeringRC]

It does help =)

[@Toryh86]

Wood screws are good for front gear on flex plate....let them pull out on bad landing verses rip the whole assembly out

[@superleeds1966]

The turbine bracked should maybe been under the wood to avoid the welded nuts?

[@Toryh86]

Why not mount the rear mains with ply/carbon plate spacer to shim the gear to align into place with no interference instead of cutting airframe

[@wildgoobsid5]

Seems like the developers never actually put one together and tested it. Lots of things don’t fit.

[@Glitch08_rl]

You forgot to edit something out😂
