Article 1.002 – Will a Jakadofsky turbine fit into my sport helicopter mechanics?
The short answer is no. When the first compact turbine engines were introduced for use in scale models, many model helicopter manufacturers invested development time with turbine companies to find a direct fit solution. Modelers can make it work, but even mechanics designed for gasoline and very large glow engines are still under-engineered for turbine power. Turbine models need dedicated turbine mechanics that have been designed specifically for the particular turbine engine and will handle the higher model weight and stress imposed from flight maneuvers. We offer a selection of sport and scale mechanics designed for the Jakadofsky engine line which combine superior strength and a clean layout to allow easy maintenance and inspection.
