Although I have not posted on the blog lately I have been finding time to work on the 104. I decided to install a chute system and that took a bit of time to work out. It is now installed and working.
The turbine needed to be installed and I decided to follow Roland's method out of Germany in raising the motor to approximately a 2 degree thrust from the kits 5 degree set up. You can see the mounting blocks in the picture below.

This also required the pipe to be raised. I also found the mounting rails to be marginal so I beefed them up to reduce any flex.

In this picture you can see the turbine at the end of the thrust pipe and the light ring installed with some weathering done to the afterburner.
I have also scraped my electronics tray as I decided to set the plane up with the Jeti radio system and to make is simple I have gone to the Jeti Central Box instead of the PowerBox Royal which I had originally planned for. I will post some pictures of this change soon.
