Section 8:
Turbine, Tail pipe & Tail cone instal-
lation
Step 1
. Insert tail pipe and mark locations for mounting
lugs. Use scrap ply wood to use as mounting
rail. When happy with fit secure with self tap
pers. (Note the gap between turbine tail cone
and pipe. Normally about 25mm)
Step 2.
Trial fit turbine. When happy with fit, mark lo
cations for 4 mounting bolts.
Step 3.
Drill pilot holes and secure turbine to rail.
Step 4.
Run all wires neatly in harness. Secure with ca
ble ties. (Note: A neat installation will mini
mize stray inductance causing interference.
Step 5.
Make sure ECU wired and servo wires do not
run next to each other. Use opposite sides of f
uselage.
Step 6.
Hook up all festo pipes. Secure all pipes with
cable ties. Make sure filters are easy accessible.
Step 7.
Secure tail cone with self tappers as supplied.
Step 8.
Mount ECU batteries and RX batteries in nose
cone. If Lipo batteries are used, some lead
weight will be needed for correct CG!!!
