Top Gun F-15 converting to turbine
Has anyone converted a Top Gun F-15 to turbine? I have one that currently is setup for ducted fan use and I would like to convert to turbine use. Can anyone offer any suggestions like tubine to use, any structural reinforcements needed etc...

If you know Chris Klavanian give him a call. He also lives in Clinton Township. If not send a PM to him (Klave on RCU).
Chris put a P-80 in his TGA F-15 several years ago. It was a bit heavy but flew well. I think one of the 12 -14 size turbines would be ideal (Artes Bee, Wren 54, P-60, etc.).

Ronnie (aka SHOK) converted one and it seem to fly pretty good. I'm sure he will see this post and post some information.
