...For very fast Jets it is possible to minimise the inlet up to 90% FSA in order to avoid overloads at high speed due to congestion at the inlet area tube.....
Thrust tube exit can be down as low as 70%. However, the lower you go, the higher the efflux speed and the faster your jet will go theoretically. But it cost static thrust and will take longer to get there. 90% FSA on the thrust tube exhaust is considered a good middle of the road between static thrust and speed.
I love my turbine Rebel and would not go back, but I think it's pretty awesome that someone made a electric version of the Rebel. To my knowledge it's the lightest 2m composite Rc jet in the size so it makes a great candidate. Well done.

I attended a warbird event at my local club and met a guy that makes custom harness and cables/connectors. I had him make the harnesses for the wings and also servo extensions with 20 AWG wires for my Rebel. It came to $69 including shipping which I thought was a good deal. His name is Ray and his email is [email protected]. I thought I share his info in case someone else is interested.

My Feedback: (1)
I purchased a 3l CM Jets tank for my Rebel. The CM Jet tank is shorter and wider compared to the long cylindrical tank CARF supplies. Because of the dimensional differences, the CM Jet tank's CG is approximately 75mm closer to the aircraft CG point. So, the aircraft CG will shift rearwards less during flight as fuel is consumed as compered to the CARF tank. I think this make the CM Jet a better design. However, few folks (if any) have issues with the stock tank, this only makes me happy as an engineer

Not the smoothest video, but most of a flight from today with ‘old boy’ Andrew Perkins example powered by a JetCat P-130Rx ( no part of this flight uses full power)

More Rebel 2m models for the growing fleet in my local club. Std Orange scheme that will be JetCat P-140Rx powered and Infinity scheme ARF Plus with the new tank fittings that will have a JetCat P-130RX. Both will be Core/Powerbox throughout

It’s just happening now, so it depends when the kit was made. No problem with the original system, just the fact that people don’t want to ‘make’ things. There are other advantages to the new system.
