The setup has been designed to position the seam of the
pipe at the very top. Once you have fitted the pipe you
must check that it is square before permanently attaching
the two pieces. Then mark and drill the pipe through the
bypass Ø3mm, at 4 points equally spaced around the pipe.
Secure with 4 x pop rivets supplied.
At this point the bypass can be measured for trimming. See
figure 5 and 6 to show how to mark and measure the area

to be cut. Trim outside of the cut lines with a dremel or suitable rotary tool and tidy with files as
appropriate.

We then move on to fitting the turbine. It is easiest to do this whilst the assembly is outside the model
as the thrust pipe / bypass / turbine is effectively a self contained unit. This manual describes fitment
of the JetCat P180RX turbine however the bypass and mounitng rails will accommodate a larger
case turbine such as the JetCat P200SX without modification.
The rear of the tailcone of the turbine should be set at 45mm from the rear edge of the bypass (see
figure 6). Ensure this measurement is carried out carefully. Once you have this position set, ensure
the turbine is central within the pipe by observing through the rear end of the pipe. Adjust as
necessary and drill the 4 mounting holes Ø3.2mm then tap to M4. To provide additional strength to
the cut threads apply a drop of thin cyano to each hole and allow to set. Mount the turbine with 4 x
M4 allen head screws and re-check positioning.
