RE: Adjusting Evo jet 160 Engine
Chris, Sometimes INCREASING the time will actually decrease the spool up time. If you have it set too fast, the engine will automatically try to retard the throttle and end up increasing your spool time. I can tell you here in Vegas we typically run 5 or 6 seconds, and nothing else out here spools as fast as our engine. Which engine do you have?? You can also raise your idle RPM by 3000-5000, this will increase residual thrust only slightly, but also reduce your spool up time. Chad

RE: Distance from pipe to turbine
Here is a good "general" rule of thumb.... Take the diameter of the exhaust cone, and the diameter of the thrust tube. The difference between them is a great staring point. Chad

Spray tints = not good result. Just look at the all black canopy of the splash. Spray did not adhere well, and got blotchy. Talk to Dan Avilla reference tinting. He did his bandit (yellow). Looks good! Chad

John, We've done plenty of tests with real radar guns head on (not from the side and getting erred, erroniously high numbers due to the Cosine Efect http://www.copradar.com/preview/chapt2/ch2d1.html) I believe you received readings of 275, we're just saying they weren't correct with the engine stated.

RE: Evo Turbine - What Battery Chargers?
LIFE is the same as A123. The battery that came with your engines is Lithium Manganese, and is charged like an Lipo.

RE: Evo Turbine - What Battery Chargers?
Lipo setting is the perfect answer. A lot of people have switched to the a 4 cell A123 like DoubleD. The new engines come with a 4 cell 2000Mah LIFE pack, so they get charged the same as an A123. Thanks to those that chimed in. Chad

RE: evojet 160 vx
Chris, No stupid questions.....The "Cool Down" usually stops at 100c. If you could take a video of the noise and email it to me, it would better help me to analyze what you are talking about. Does the motor start ok? Does it run ok? Does it only make the noise on cool down? If so, does it only make the noise when the stater engages the compressor? Also, when did you buy your engine? Did you buy it used? Thanks. Chad

RE: Evojet 140vx??
Hahaha, yes, we have a new 140Vx, putting out 32 pounds of thrust, at only 120k rpm's! It is the same size/weight of a 160, so unless the price is a factor, the 160 is a great value. All I can say at this point is the 220ish size motor is still in design/testing, but will not be released until it meets the standards of the factory. I HOPE it is this year. Arno does not release anything until it performs as it should. How many engines do you need :) Chad

RE: Retract Game Changer
Buy cheap, buy twice (or three times) I don't know why some people have such a hard time learning this lesson in this hobby. Constantly in search of bargain basement prices for critical pieces of equipment. Even people that have personally been bitten by this issue don't seem to learn. granted, maybe gear is not a "critical" item, but I know Todd's gear does what it is supposed to do, even when I don't on a landing. I don't mind paying higher prices for equipment that has been shown to last. Look around at jet rally's. What are people flying, what are people having problems with. Answers alot of questions for me. Chad

RE: Eneloop Batteries - Charging
[quote]ORIGINAL: Tom Antlfinger I suspect that life shortening may be the result of false peaking/overcharge, rather than simply the higher charge rate itself. Tom [/quote] I agree Tom, this may be the cause. With my CellPro multi4, 300 seems to produce the best charge without the packs over-heating.

RE: EvoJet 180Vx Highest Power to Weight Ratio in class??
Meshari, If you just changed the rpm, the ECU has to re-learn the engine. The ECU is constantly learning, so any changes made will have to be learned.Also, you may not have had it in the FUN position long enough :) Chad
