Thanks for checking out the SWIWIN 300 Review/test! if your interested in this or any of the Swiwin engine lineup check out www.thelightersideofrc.com/shop
Awesome 😎 yea 2 very different engines! The 300 will be heavier but more fuel efficient overall compared to the 240’s. The A10 won’t notice extra weight at all.
THE Beast is very appropriate, it was great to help and see the numbers from the engine in person having a huge amount of respect for the power a quick and efficient performance from the size of turbine. Thanks, Jonathan
Man that restart was something to look at. I also am always amazed when the exhaust cone starts to glow slightly. Amazing piece of engineering all those rc turbines.
Hi Jonathan, That thing is awesome. Threw out some flame on the restart with the air bubbles in the line. Looked nice, but know that is not normal. Should make the Huracan rock. 🙂 You and Katie stay safe.
Amazing engine. Could you imagine someone builds a giant F-16 with this engine in it and on top of that then adds a afterburner designed exactly to the full size bird?? That would be crazy. I hope someone does that.
Great video, will there be significant changes in the Huracan when mounting this larger engine, tube placement, engine clearance etc. Hope you get to maiden the plane soon.
Hey Hank. I was looking at that the other day. The turbine mounts about 6" behind the C of G. The tip of the nose is maybe 5' in front of the c of g. So not sure on the exact number but if we are adding 1.5 lbs at 6" behind the c of g I suspect we may only need to add 100g - 150 g / 1/4 to 1/3 lb of extra weight in the nose.
Would the Swiwin 300 Series engine fit in the "Y" bifurcated ducted system, i.e., one engine with two thrust openings, of the F-18C you built last year?
Yea for sure. The F18, f15 can be setup with single engine. Most people go with the dual for some redundancy. If one engine fails aircraft can still fly with single engine
Jonathan thanks again for the Video on the Testing on the Beast . I have Questions so I can learn More. First is there any different in testing the Jet Motor . If you use a Leaf Blower on the Moter Vs without? Because in the Jet it will be Getting Air push to the Motor? Would being in your Job help gain more Power? Last. When will you Test KING KONG MOTOR ? This is the Jet Motor I love to see in your Jet? Hehehehehe. Yes there is a Big Price Jump. Maybe Swiwin let you do a Bench Test then Ship it Back. This Way you have Test all there Jet Motors and you have a Benchmark for the Jet Motor. Thanks Jonathan you have Someone building a F14 With Batteries power fan ducts. 👍🏻 Bye. Gory
Hello Greg. There is so much air moving through the turbine that I don't think the blower would make any difference. The exhaust velocity is somewhere over 2000 km/hr/1200 m/hr. No King Kongs in the future....yet!
That engine is awesome. And it really sounds like a real engine. But I have a question. Once it is installed into the jet, how long can you fly it? Like what is a flight time with this particular engine, would it be 30 minutes or so? Thank you so much for doing these awesome videos
Hello James! Thanks for watching! Average flight time will be 6-8 min depending on fuel capacity. I suspect when it's installed in the huracan I will be flying for about 7 min.
@@russellvoth5161 I agree it's very efficient at lower throttle settings. I went to the Siwin site to get their consumption numbers and to get 15 minutes at full throttle, you'd need almost 8 GALLONS of fuel. Naturally if you're flying at lower speeds you could use a smaller fuel tank.
Nope! no insurance of any kind on the aircraft. Cant think about or worry about the cost. It gets in the way of flying/landing! The first flight is expensive. Every flight after is cheeper and cheeper! If the aircraft is 10k to put together. Your first flight is a 10k flight. If you get 2 flights on it well now it's 5k per flight! 😉
