I have a eurosport with a rhino that flies great. I have the intake ducts installed in this plane as well. The engine is fully bypassed and I also have 2 inch diameter holes in the twin faux exhausts. My question is: Is it a good idea to remove the intake ducts SIMPLY to lose weight? With a rhino, the plane is able to do nice harriers etc, but perhaps if the intake is removed, it may fly even better than it does already?

thanks in advance

I'd leave them in, better airflow, less stress to the fuselage, less chance of FOD damage, probable less damage if you got a flame out on start etc........

Ragz,

Do you have the old version intake duct or the improved ones. Would appreciate seeing photos of your setup if possible.

Thanks. Regards.

Its not the eurosport evolution. Its the original design. Let me hunt for a pic.

Ragz,

thanks, i meant the first generation intaks and not the jet. I have bought with my Eurosport (same scheme as yours) a set of intakes from C Arf, and have understood later on that this set does not fit easily. Also understood that they are now offering intake duct which fits perfectly.

Thanks advising and appreciate your help in this respect.
Bestv regards

Here are a few pics of the first generation Euro along with the intake liners. Yes, they do require some attention to fit properly.

Countryboy,

Thanks for the photos.

jets of Bergen,

Thanks for the photos. Appreciate knowing if your duct is the new improved one or the old version and if you had problems installing same. Also would like to know how did you do attachment on the other side (inside fuse).

The biggest problem I found with the liners was that they had a twist in them running lengthwise. Using a heatgun and twisting in the opposite direction and holding while they cooled helped. I did this several times and they now fit fairly well. Also, once the notch is cut at the rear to clear the starter motor helps stress relieve them also.

I am not sure about the duct are the new or the old version, but this Eurosport is brand new Evolution bought in Okt 08, duct is bought at the same time from C-arf.

I am not the owner of this modell, it`s my buddy who build this one and there is tentative no picture from the other side of the duct yet, but i will try to fix some picture from the other side
