Page 5: Safety Information
JET CENTRAL ENGINE. The JET CENTRAL gas turbine engine is a very safe, easy to operate unit. The JET CENTRAL is a state of the art gas turbine engine and all components are manufactured within the highest standards. If operated correctly it will provide years of reliable, trouble-free service, with low maintenance. - Page 6 Use only 100% synthetic 2 strokes or turbine oils. (See section 2.4 for more details) Use common sense when operating model turbine jet aircraft. Never operate in or around heavily populated areas, and in or around areas experiencing drought or dryness. ...

Page 7: Safety Rules
1.1 Safety Rules Rule 1 Never run your engine indoors; always make sure you are in the open air. Non-associated persons should be at least 9 meters (10 yards) away from the engine when running. Always have a fully operational CO fire extinguisher available and ready for use when starting and running your engine. -

Before starting installation of the engine please check the contents against the parts list. If any part is missing or damaged please contact JET CENTRAL or their agent in your country for correction. DO NOT substitute missing or damaged parts as this will void your warranty and your country controlling body approval for use. - Page 9 2.2 Turbine Jet Central Turbines utilize a design containing a single shaft turbojet with an annular combustor. The single stage axial flow turbine drives a single stage centrifugal compressor. The shaft is supported by 2 fuel/oil lubricated pre-loaded angular contact bearings. The...

2.3 POWERPACK / ECU The POWERPACK / ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is a total system for the control of a model gas turbine engine. Its main function is to control and regulate the fuel pump, providing the turbine engine with the necessary amount of fuel for safe and controlled operation. - Page 11 · Lost signal (glitch) counter ...

2.4 Fuel / Oil System The fuel supply for all Jet Central Turbines requires that the user to pre mixed fuel and oil together. Internal lubrication is achieved by routing fuel oil mix to an internal T-fitting which sends some of the Fuel/Oil mix to the bearings and the rest is sent to the fuel nozzles in the combustion chamber. -

Page 22: Radio Submenu
4.7 Radio Submenu IMPORTANT – Please Read Before programming the POWERPACK / ECU to learn your transmitter throttle settings, it is important that you clear your transmitter of all and any MIX or FAILSAFE program you might have programmed connected to the throttle channel, since this can interfere with the operation of the POWERPACK / ECU ... - Page 23 To program the throttle stick position select the menu screen, and then press the “radio” submenu to get to the adjust screen. This first menu is only informative and it warns you of the entrance into the screens of programming of the throttle control.

Page 24: Throttle Curves
By default the POWERPACK / ECU controls the RPM in linear way i.e., at the half stick position the engine turns at half of the rotor RPM range. Jet engines develop the thrust in exponential mode, thus half RPM means approximately 1/4 of thrust. On small engines with a high idle to full power RPM ratio, or in a high drag/low power planes, often only the last 1/3 of the throttle stick produces significant thrust, with the low half stick travel being not used. -

6.2.2 Important notes for kerostart turbines The kerostart system used on all Jet Central turbines is reliable and well tested system that produces very smooth and trouble free starts. However, extra care and attention must be paid when starting a kerostart turbine. -
Page 29: First Engine Runs
To prevent this: · During the start-up listen to the turbine sound to check for positive sound of ignition, check looking from the exhaust that the kero is burning, or check for an increase in exhaust temperature in the data terminal. ... -
Page 30: Starting The Engine
A special menu on the POWERPACK / ECU facilitates priming. Set the trim to low and go to “Info” menus and next to “Pump test”. Click on “on” /”off” to start/stop the pump manually. Please observe fuel line to engine very carefully and push the off button to shutoff as soon as fuel reaches engine. -
Page 31: Engine Shut Down Procedure
Once this phase is finished, the reading will be “FUEL RAMP”. In this phase the engine receives fuel only through its normal fuel input, and battery power to the internal ceramic igniter will be disconnected. The fuel flow and starter power will be increased automatically to increase the RPM up to idle RPM. -

Diesel for fuel; the fuel must be mixed with oil as follows: Jet Central recommends using 2 strokes 100% synthetic oil mixed in 2% (50-1) to 2.5% (40- 1) ratios. Any recognized brand that meets the norm “JASO FC” will work. -
Page 34: Multiengine Installation
8 Multiengine Installation For multiengine installation, first set up each turbine as per manual, start and run each engine separately. Then, when the Turbines are starting and running smooth, plug the throttle leads from each of the POWERPACK / ECU’s into a “Y” connector and plug the central lead into your throttle channel. -
Page 35: Maintenance
9 Maintenance Due to being an advanced design over other popular turbines you will find that your JET CENTRAL turbine needs less maintenance and your turbine will only need to be properly cared for to get hours of enjoyment. We have new state of the art bearing systems, precision made combustion chambers and high efficiency turbine wheels that take heat and load of the main components thus greatly extending service requirements. -
