It's not a secondary compressor wheel, it's the power turbine wheel. The first turbine is connected to the compressor. It's called the gas producer turbine. The hot gases then pass through the power turbine which is connected to the 90 degree gearbox.

A turbine would be pretty impractical for me, but the cool factor can't be denied. Regardless of what you put this in, it will be nice to follow along and get a "real" sense of what the setup and ownership is like.

Lol, West. The proper description of the 2nd stage turbine wheel and is consider part of the N2 system and compressor side being the N1 system. 2nd stage turbine driving the gearbox and 1st stage turbine wheel driving the compressor. Sorry, lol Ima Helicopter mech so ADHD. 😁😁😁

Awesome! Can't wait to see this build and watch it fly. On a side note, I noticed that you seem to be using a Multi Sizes Digital Pitch Gauge lately instead of the usual one used in the past. What is your opinion on this new pitch gauge vs the other one you have been using? 🧙‍♂👍

It’s going to be a really fun and cool project! I have been using and still use the same pitch gauge I have had for over two years now. It’s a cheap $20 pitch gauge off Amazon. Just 3D printed different size holders to fit into the different helis.

How is the power to weight ratio compared to a quality electric setup that goes in same 700 size helicopter?

@westhobbiesrc8051

8 ай бұрын

Not great lol it has the power to weight of like a gasser. The biggest issue with turbines and the power to weight ratio is they produce a ton of thrust, but they take a while to spool compared to a Nitro, gas, electric set up. So collective management is very important to keep a consistent power band in flight performance.
