Cant waith

The turbine looks great. Are the rubber tubing included in the kit?

Skiddz · 04-03-2009, 03:41 PM

Everything except electronics, propane trigger and an air trap is included in the kit.

mapas · 04-03-2009, 06:18 PM

any chance that you will test-run the turbine (before placing it in the heli ? ) Just curious about how what is needed to start it.

Skiddz · 04-03-2009, 06:57 PM

Yes, the engine will be test-run on the bench prior to installing it in the airframe. Support equipment, safety and startup procedures will be discussed.

marty_one · 04-04-2009, 01:45 AM

Skiddz · 04-04-2009, 03:29 AM

+1

Thanks Kevin!!

Skiddz · 04-04-2009, 07:35 PM

1st engine vid is back online. 2nd will be up shortly

marty_one · 04-04-2009, 11:20 PM

just finished watching the second turbine build video, awesome stuff. its incredible that for something that produces so much power for its size I thought it would be more complicated than it looks (i expected pipes tubes and sensors to be going everywhere). I cant wait to see the final build and test bench videos for this.

This helicopter has really captured me, i never thought that something like this would. All I need to do now is either land that 350k per year job or win the lotteries. Neither will ever happen so I will have to keep dreaming. Maybe when I retire I could get one, but then I will be waiting for about 30 years before getting one

Keep em coming.

Skiddz · 04-05-2009, 12:28 AM

Next one will be up in about 30 mins

Ecklund1 · 04-05-2009, 01:44 AM

Good job! The Turbine's done! Smart move on the disclaimers.

sonofcar · 04-05-2009, 02:53 AM

Part three still looking good

very entertaining kevin keep them coming

Skiddz · 04-05-2009, 01:18 PM

Well, there won't be any more vids coming for at least 2 weeks. One, because I'm out of raw footage and two, I won't have any time until at least the 19th to work on shooting any more.

There's a ***SLIGHT*** chance (Basically slim and none, but I want to tantalize you impatient bastages ehhe) I might get the 1st test start done this week, but don't hold your breath.

Big Fil · 04-05-2009, 11:13 PM

on with the test start
