varie jet

[wolf.]

gentlemen, I aquired a turbmeca pallas jet engine (70kg engine weight and 160kg trust) which I plan to install in my Varieze. :DThe motor fits then engine compartment quite nicely, has enough trust, is a real aircraft engine (no modified apu or targetdrone engines), is actually lighter than a O-200, the only drawback is its substancial thirst (120L/h at cruise)

No to my questions,

how can I modify the varie to allow for higher speeds safely?

I need extra fuel tanks, what's better 1 tank under the fuselage or 2 smaller ones underneath the starkes?

I would say one big one in the back seat and your varieze becomes a single seater. With a fuel burn like that who can afford to have freinds fly along anyway??? STeve build on

Hey

Have you done any reaserch on the BD-5 jet engines?

I think thay have about the same thrust, but don't know about the fuel burning rate.

Good luck

Any further action on this ???
