Page 2 2.3. Assembly of the complete system Operation of the jet engine 3.1. First operation 3.2. First testing 3.3. Control functions 3.4. Tuning options / electronics Legal disclaimer Maintenance instruction 5.1. Maintenance 5.2. Repairs Warranty Technical data Wiring plan Illustration operating manual B100F / B140F 2019-06-27...
Page 3 The operation of any jet engine can be dangerous. This also holds true for the B100F / B140F. During operation, the jetwash and parts of the jet nozzle become very hot; the nozzle can reach up to 700 °C. In addition, the turbine fans do reach very high rotary speeds, which leads to extreme tensile loads and temperatures.
Page 4 Higher loads occur when driving an R/C aircraft model with a turbine compared to equally powerful drives like propellers or impellers. This is a result of considerably higher air speeds caused by jet propulsion. operating manual B100F / B140F 2019-06-27...
Page 5 Take off must be against the wind.  Hold the turbine with the nozzle facing downwards right before  take off so excess fuel can run off to avoid a hot start of the engine. operating manual B100F / B140F 2019-06-27...
Page 6 All tube connections must be inspected for leakage. The fuel  tanks must be emptied in case of extreme outside temperatures or when there is no upcoming operation planned (danger of explosion!). operating manual B100F / B140F 2019-06-27...
Page 7 (danger of fire!). When an extension of the nozzle is necessary, it must be constructed and installed to the operating manual B100F / B140F 2019-06-27...
Page 8 The optimum size of the fuel tank depends on the model but  should be at least 1.7 liters. The optimum size for the B100F / B140F is 2 - 3 liters, which is enough for an average air time of 6 –...
Page 9 At last, connect the receiver to your ECU. Now the cable is  readily prepared. Only use original adaptor cables if other receiver plugs are necessary. The ECU is only operated by one input channel (engine power limiter). operating manual B100F / B140F 2019-06-27...
Page 10 Should the turbine have been flooded, place the model with  the nozzle facing downwards to let the surplus kerosene run out of the turbine. Thus you avoid a hot start, which can damage the turbine. operating manual B100F / B140F 2019-06-27...
Page 11  Attention! With PCM receivers, the fail safe function should be programmed to idle in order to avoid emergency stops at short receiving errors. This, however, is within the decision range of the pilot. operating manual B100F / B140F 2019-06-27...
Page 12 The following parameters are to be controlled, i.e. changed,  also after a system reset (see attached sheet). Battery voltage Adjustment of the temperature sensor Glow voltage Pulse width of the sender signal Pump starting voltage operating manual B100F / B140F 2019-06-27...

Therefore, AeroDesignWorks GmbH will not assume any liability resulting from damage, loss and costs resulting from operation. AeroDesignWorks GmbH is excluded from compensation of any kind unless regulated differently by law.
Page 14 5. Maintenance instruction 5.1. Correct maintenance of your turbine AeroDesignWorks turbines need only little maintenance under normal operation conditions. However, some points must be considered to guarantee a faultless function of the engine. This includes regular cleaning and inspection. Dirt and grease deposit can cause slippage of the starter unit ...

Page 18 Tank size must be determined by the user. See technical data, fuel consumption. Usually 2 – 3 liter tanks are used with B100F / B140F turbines. Drill a 6 mm hole in the fuel tank cap of your choice. Use the included tank pendulum device and screw it together with the tank cap.
Page 19 We recommend 3s LiPo batteries with max. 12V and a minimum capacity of at least 3000mAh. Energy consumption is roughly at 450-550mAh, dependent on your style of flying, for 8 minutes plus after flight cool down period. operating manual B100F / B140F 2019-06-27...
