The unit is mounted on this lip by four screws and blind nuts inserted from the rear of this lip . Holes need to be drilled through the engine mount assembly in different places , the fan assembly is not mounted on the same holes as the turbine mount assembly.

Where can these be purchased? Also, can they be fitted to a Gen 3?

Purchase details will be given soon

As for your other question

The fans in general will fit to all Mibo A10’s of the same nacelles internal dimensions . These are 187mm in diameter . So it’s just the internal fitting that has to be altered if required .

You're welcome to send me the internal dimensions of your nacelles and fixtures existing there , I’m positive we can do something to match the requirements .

I wish I could install like all of you who can make clean “eat off my install” install. My main motivation is maintenance. I have to be able to access all the systems.

I could just not find any way to get all the wires underneath as there are 2 smoke controllers, light controller, retract controller,....etc...

Two fan heat extractors were added as I just don’t know how hot it’s going to get down there. CG TBD.

I agree with you Ravill, it's superb when everything is clean etc ... but things are getting worse when you need to do some maintenance like changing a servo cable etc ... then everything needs to be redone.
Im my opinion, I prefer something not that clean looking but safe and easily workable.
I like your idea on the Sidewinder rack attachment, that's brilliant.

Lavi_rider, can you give me a reason why I should go with your dummy fan and not used the ones from Mibo ?

Yeah, Lavi’s would have to be much cheaper than the Mibo fans really.

Let me start with this first , our design is based on the blue prints of the actual part of the full size .

Second its lighter and tested to high speed.
we measured a wind speed in the 165KTS .

The actual A-10 model will not likely to surpass that . 300km/h

Regarding the price we will update ASAP

So ,scale wise it’s actually extremely close to the full size fan that one see on the Thunderbolt . And is designed to be in the same position in the nacelles.

-full stator geometry smoothes airflow, distributes loads evenly and adds protection from FOD
supported by large and thin bearings VS the small diameter ones found in the MIBO unit .

Mibo psrts weigh 750g VS less than 500g ours .

price:

Two Varisnts :

-Assembled fans. All assembly work completed, fan assembled but no sanding and no finishing (comparable to Mibo setup)
Price roughly EUR580 even at this stage the parts are fine and smooth due the manufacturing process.

RTF units: Ready painted scale colors. Flat black stator unit, steel fans. Hub either primered light grey to finish in airframe color, or sprayed to spec.
Price roughly EUR 790 same as Mibo ( their unit comes unpainted non finished surface etc )

No offense intended Lavi but this is too expensive compared to the ones from Mibo.
And even if the fans from Mibo had issues, they have prooved to works well.

But it is a good idea to do 3rd parties parts for the Mibo A10, maybe pick something that is not available already ? There is a LOT of stuff that can be added to the plane.

I’m sorry , give one reason why would I buy the Mibo fan at the same price when I can buy a higher quality , more scale , lighter , aerodynamically and structuraly tested .
While with all due respect to Mibo who produced a fan offered non finished , heavier , less scale etc .

And who ever orders our parts has 100% guarantee of money back if he’s not satisfied , just send the part back in the same condition you got it ... done .

As to your offer of producing a variety parts .. just post a list and we will take a look at it .

But not producing certain parts just because they already exist ... ?

Thank god you’re not a consultant to global industry :-)

i actually love love to see a variety of parts coming from various manufacturers ! It means they all try to excel , offering their products to meet the requirements of possible customers ... don’t you ?

So , we offer our products at a better over all quality in all aspects , price etc .

Thx for your advice

Comparing an egg to an egg
our part in the same finishing status as the competitors part is only 580€ not 790€ .....210€ less ...

Cheers

I love it when there are more of parts / kits / engines or anything I use is available. Because, it would give the consumer more choices. Especially when someone with experience makes the product. I have not bought the A10 yet as we have lost our suitable field but would be thrilled if Levi make parts for planes like Skygate / Carf Hawk. Maybe Strut covers so we don't have to use those that come with the kit!

Absolutely right there bud :-) !

We’re planing to do lots of cool stuff , we’re in the making scale tires for various kits , starting with the Yellow F-18 ... those horrible sponge tires are worthless .. molds are already done with laser etched scale tire faces etc . Other types will come . Also cockpits .. aerials for various kits .. the list is long and distinguished...

We started with the Mibo fans for the simple reason that my good friend here is completing his own now and we needed the fans ... couldn’t settle for what is offered on the market so we went on and designed our own using the very blue prints of the full size part adapting its features to meet the requirements in the model .. now it’s offered to everyone in need of super scale , light thunderbolt fans :-)

How about some engine covers for the A-10?! I was about to update my sewing skills, but I’d buy some covers in a New York minute!!

Don't take me wrong, I'm happy to see another company making after market parts for our planes.
It was just the tone of your first messages for the fans that was a bit aggressive. Your fans are certainly better but the ones from Mibo are around since a long time and they do the job, they are not the best quality or scale looking but they do the job.
The mockery in your reply was not needed.

I can give you a list of all the parts I would like to see but basically, whatever that can enhance the look of my planes and are offered at an honest price would interest me.
For example, the latest parts I was looking for was some ordnance for the SU30 from Skymaster. If you offer a scale R73E, I would get a pair in a New York minute like Ravill.
