Turbine side view / thrust tube
For internally mounted turbines that do not utilize a bypass, set the ducting inlet ½ to ¾ of an inch after the
end of the exhaust nozzle. For bypass installations, refer to the kit instructions for mounting the turbine.
Use either reflective material or BVM heat shield paint to protect the fuselage near the hot section of the
turbine.
Do not mount electrical components, fuel tubing or parts that could melt around the hot
section of the turbine.
Inlet Protection
Especially for models that have the air intake below the fuselage behind the nose wheel (F16 for example),
there is the danger of small stones or dirt entering the turbine. In these cases you must incorporate intake
protection (screen) in front of the turbine.
JetCat
recommends a “Jet Net” to protect the turbine from debris. Available from
JetCat!
