Best thing to do is take a look at the power figures between the various engines. If the X45TP is within the range then it would be a solid choice! I think this specific engine is up to the 11 ish hour range and still working beautifully in Steves PC-21

I'm curious if I can use it with a 16-10 three blade prop in a Top Flite T34 which has a 80in wingspan (and flies quite well with a 20-25cc engine putting out about 2.0kW). Can't seem to find any other kit with a tricycle landing gear.

Yea and that wasn't even close to max RPM. I bumped it up to 225K but for the first hour your supposed to keep it under 200k. It was just slightly over. I think with the right prop and once the Turbine RPM is upped we should easily get upper 30's maybe even hit the 40 mark!

At those RPM's I will be shocked if the gearbox holds up without some sort of cooling. I am hearing things in the audio that sound like gearbox noise as well, and if that's the case I wouldn't expect many flights out of that part. The rest of the motor seems well built, it starts quickly (you might be going to full temps a little quickly for my taste honestly), and the throttle response is incredible. Overall this seems like a great product that might need a better gearbox.
@thelightersideofrc
@thelightersideofrc 8 месяцев назад
Keep in mind with these turbo props that the gear box is cooled and lubricated with fuel. On the larger models, the fuel runs through the gear box prior to going in the engine reducing heat. This new generation of Turbo Props have been amazing. This video was from a couple years ago and this exact turbo prop now has over 15 ish hours on it and still working great!

Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, and mean no disrespect, but it just seems that tech savvy people don't seem to use common sense, If they would just stop and think if the wind is in your way of reading your instruments!? Wouldn't it be better to build your engine platform with the wind blast, and engine at a 90 degree angle on your board, for your wind steam prop blast to be out of the instruments readings your trying to see and read!? and if the power of the turbine is so strong, you could back your vehicle up next to the door and chain, or cable it to your car frame to keep it from tipping, or moving, or even putting a cement eyebolt drilled into your cement floor that can be screwed in and taken back out when not in use so people don't trip on the eyebolt, or bolts!? Just some ideas, and food for thought! Very cool engine!

@@thelightersideofrc I think we are all lazy, and I'm the same way as probable many of us are! All in a hurry to get the work done to enjoy the toy! Again I meant no disrespect as I read the way I said what I said, and it DID SOUND BAD, EVEN TOO ME! for that I apologize for the way it sounded bad! Just thought your hands would be more free to do what you need to do, without having to hold your platform in place with your foot too! and out of the jet, or prop blast to read your instruments. I admit that sometimes when I watch your videos on these engines, I myself fast forward to see the engines run! lol

Hey Sir. I was in the U.S Marine Corps. Got a question. Can you put this engine in a helicopter? I don't know to much about RC engines. Sorry if this is a dumb question. Great video. This is the first time watching your channel.

@thelightersideofrc 3 года назад
Hey James. Not a dumb question at all. Xicoy makes this same configuration for a Heli setup. Instead of the shaft coming straight out it makes a 90 degree bent up. If you look at the box during the first part of the video the Heli engine is pictured there. Thanks for watching 😎

Full scale yes. In models probably possible but not easily. We will be using a variable pitch prop on the install on the. PC21 but it will be fixed variable not in flight variable.

Find small turbo. Size of exhaust then run tubing to modified intake. Turbo prop? Too bad can’t do counter rotating props, increases thrust.
