M166TS, 90° Fuel connection ?
Hi,
See attached pics, A friend of mine just received his 166, and has trouble routing the fuel line, as the engine cover is pretty close to the turbine. So, either he drills a hole in the cover and routes externally (yikes), Or exchanges the Festo fuel connector for a Festo L type.
HeŽll be checking with Jetsmunt also, but did any of you have a similar situation, and what was your solution ?
Thanks in advance,
Florian

Most other brands have an elbow fitting there and some (Kingtech) give you both so you can switch it out as needed. I would wager there's absolutely no reason he couldn't change it out for an elbow.

Cool that Jetsmunt USA is helping Jetsmunt customers in Germany :-) (to be honest, he didnŽt check with Jetsmunt in Spain yet)
Please do also check clearance with the front engine cover hole. If my friendŽs right, the required Festo elbow has a key width of 7 mm, so the hole in the front cover of the engine needs to be at least 9.89 mm diameter, which is about 1 mm more than the existing hole in the front cover.
Thanks,
Florian

My pleasure, helping people is what I enjoy so location is irrelevant we are all rc flyers! Cheers, I have three of these engines now, I will let you know what’s required today!
