of the turbine purple cover finishing just in front of the
wing fixing formers.
The carbon turbine deflector guard mounts to the
carbon bellmouth with three M3 x 10 Allen bolts,
washers and nuts. The guard features mounting ears
that sit between the turbine mounting lugs.
When you drill the fixing holes for your chosen
turbine it is very important that the turbine is centred
on the tail pipe tube. It is also important that the
turbine is not angled so that the hot gasses are being
directed onto the tail pipe walls. JetCat turbines are
installed with the cable connection towards the top of
the aeroplane, away from the wing. Drill the four
mounting holes ø4 one at a time, adding a screw into
the drilled holes in turn, help keep the turbine
position. Once drilled remove the turbine and open
the holes to ø5.5mm ready for the M4 T-nuts. These
can be pulled into position with the M4 Allen screws
and large spreader washers. The carbon deflector
guard may require a hole to accept the turbine cable,
with the shown JetCat turbine a single hole is
required for the power cable.
Fuel Tank Setup
Composite-ARF offer an optional moulded Kevlar fuel
tank of 4.1 ltr capacity, which is installed in the
fuselage on the C of G and a plastic tank that can be
used as a hopper tank in the cockpit area. If you wish
to fit smoke some of the C-ARF team pilots have used
Flash wing tanks mounted below the main fuel tank. If
this set up is chosen the wing services should exit the
wing through the leading edge/wing mount face,
with corresponding holes drilled in both faces. The
main tank is moulded with a deeper rear trough to
retain fuel towards the end of the tank.
Before starting assembly of the moulded tank it is
important that any debris left in the tank during the
manufacturing process is flushed out. Washing the
tank with warm water and some washing detergent
works well. Ensure the tank is completely dry before
you assemble it fully.
The tank comes factory joined and is tested in the
factory for leaks. The recommended hardware is
provided in the kit. Care when assembling the fuel
