Carf rebel pro
Very exiting day!! I got a batch of new planes and the Rebel Pro is one of them!!
impressive quality and craftsmanship from Carf as usual and unbelievable well

3000 should be ok. IIRC most reported issues were larger (flow) turbines with the 800
Just keep an eye on your pump voltage/power telemetry
Some people have even recorded Pw with and without the MFLOW on ground runs to verify setup
before maiden
Just out of curiosity have you had issues determining fuel tank level without the MFLOW just using the ECU telemetry ?

I'm sure you saw my posts in the other rebel pro thread. I think the CARF version is coming out notably heavier than the Pirotti versions. I've read of some in the 33-34lb range.My CARF was about as simple and lightweight as possible(other than the bigger turbine, Swiwin 220) and came in at almost 37lbs. IMO, the 220 is 'decent' power, but if they ever come out with the 250 I will be switching out.

‘I have run that, in one of my jet for a couple season...work ok, but for the $ I decided to run the CTU instead...if your on a Jeti -24 series...you might want to have a look at them...Aeropanda have them, far better then having an extra item in the fuel stream.

i just think its more than good, I’ve been flying 2 friends max’s on 210 and there is plenty of power... if I want to go faster I’ll get a bolt 🤷🏻

I am currently building the same model, I was wondering if you had any close up photos of how you mount the tailpipe? front and rear?
The kit is very straight forward without any instructions, it just appears my thrust tube is a little small for the rear former
I am using a Jets Munt 210, Powerbox Core, Futaba S9177 all round, really looking forward to getting it done

wow nice color swap!!!
unfortunately I’m out of town for work so I had to stop the assembly, I’ll be back next week to finish it and take the pictures if you still need them...

As for the back portion, I did have to sand it a little, I always mount the pipe just a little loose so they can expand easily.

thanks for the info and comments, how is the pipe itself suspended?
i have the Grumania pipe not the CARF one, it has some steel wire with the hardware kit, is that part of
it??
i am considering mounting the pipe the traditional way with right angle pieces behind the turbine, then keeping the fuselage in one piece most of the time

For your pipe you can build something different I'm sure....I used CARF way because they also use it in the mephisto..

With a single screw on top in the middle....Ya I know I didn't know if that would hold...but it does just fine...the card pipe come with a single hole at the straight pipe entry.....and screw in the little ply....i did change the ply for real A/C Ply and a little longer to capture the brace at the back...all hysol in.
