What is that things engine made of ?
Sounds like a real jet.

When I was in RC they used to use a ducted fan.
Max.

 

Provided the simulator is free, I guess.

The S/W (used to be) free, you just pay $10 per 5 for the plane type/model, Spitfire or trainer etc etc.

Duct tape. Is all you need.

If it moves and is not supposed to put duct tape on it. It it doesn't move and it is supposed to put wd40 on it.

Use a hammer and nail. If it moves and is not supposed to, use a bigger nail. If it doesn't move and it's supposed to, use a bigger hammer.

And if neither of that works, screw it...

For ~= $2,500, you would think they could toss in free shipping for a 3 lb item.

Shipping should be another $1K as it is expensive and fragile.

Probably a ducted fan motor.

 

Nice video... but it doesn't clarify what it means by "axial flow" ... how is it mechanically different from other engines?

Axial flow refers to compressors that compress the air as it moved down the axis of the engine. This is opposed to radial flow in which the compressors spun the air radially outward.

Silly me, of course did know about axial compressors. I had just forgotten their name.

Thanks for the links.
