      What’s the reason for the switch from jetcat to KingTech?

    • @thelightersideofrc
      @thelightersideofrc  3 года назад +2

      The Jetcat that was in there was older and the acceleration is very slow. That’s the primary reason.

    Sadly I got to take one totally apart! Ran great for 4 minutes till a wing lost lift in a turn and it hit the ground. Total loss but I will say taking the turbine apart, their parts are made well. I was really surprised to see how it was constructed and put together. Not everyday one gets to take a good one apart. Lol. In my case there was no saving it.
    Thanks for the video!

    Love your video! What throttle curve do you like best? Full Expo, half expo or linear?

    • @thelightersideofrc
      @thelightersideofrc  3 года назад +1

      My preference is half expo on my turbines. I like the modulation on the lower end of the throttle curve. I have flown some others planes with linear and I could get used to it as well but i'm used to half expo.

    Those reestarts are veeery hot, Ive tested in my jet legend 1/5 yak and It has the bifurcated pipe, mannn that thing was glowing red in the reestart test LOL, I tought it was going to fail.

    • @thelightersideofrc
      @thelightersideofrc  3 года назад +2

      Yea totally! It is quite interesting to run a turbine in the dark or lower light. Most that have never seen it are quite surprised at how the exhaust cone glows. Especially at full throttle!

    Excellent video Jonathan, thank you. That is a really nice looking and performing engine - very nice. Those bubbles didn't really seem to make much of a difference (to me); are the odd bubble streams not really an issue with Turbine engines any more? Cheers mate.

    • @thelightersideofrc
      @thelightersideofrc  3 года назад +2

      Hey Murray. Thanks for watching. Most engines nowadays are pretty good with any bubbles in the lines. There’s still the odd manufacture that has issues with it still.

    • @thelightersideofrc

      Also if your plug is internal you will need the turbine balanced after the change out.

    have you tried any edf-gas-turbine combos, with equal power if electric or gas powered? how about gas turbine e-start with combined electric generator, for battery-supercap-edf usage?

    • @thelightersideofrc
      @thelightersideofrc  3 года назад +1

      EDF's are fun but don't have quite the power that the turbines have. Some of the new Jetcat turbines have generators on the front so you never have to charge your batteries! I haven't tried them.

    Hi. How did you powered on your ECU? I got my g4 turbine and i planing to use my own custom electronics, so i don't need receiver. When connecting GSU to ECU and applying 7v DC i have nothing and GSU screen remains dark. Do you know if i miss something ?

    • @thelightersideofrc
      @thelightersideofrc  3 года назад +1

      Check polarity on the plug. It may be backwards. When I do my turbine tests i'm using a spare receiver powered my a life for lipo battery.
