Mounting the Turbine
A two-piece, aluminum mounting bracket is included with the turbine. Place the bracket
around the turbine, with the glow plug situated within the slot of the smaller bracket
piece. This will help stabilize the engine along the thrust axis. The glow plug must be
in the vertical position, when mounted in your model (+/- 45
°
of engine rotation, from the
glow plug at top dead center, is the allowable deviation). Secure the engine, using four
metric mounting screws and lock washers that are provided with brackets.
For models that require an exterior turbine mount (such as the Kangaroo) or for bypass
tube mounting, optional brackets are available from
CAT
