EDF to TURBINE FOAM JET CONVERSION: STEP BY STEP GUIDE: Freewing Avanti EDF / Kingtech K45G3 | PART 1
Probably the most cost effective way to get into RC turbine jet flying. Take a proven ready to fly EPO foam jet and use a conversion kit to transform it from an electric ducted fan (EDF) to turbine power with a mini 45 Newton / 10 Lbs thrust engine.

Why do it?
There is no substitute for the sound and smell of a real jet engine. A converted jet may take off slightly heavier than the equivalent EDF powered jet but you will land lighter having burnt all your fuel and therefore at a lower speed and with less risk of damage to the landing gear. Speed in the air is likely to be significantly higher so care should be taken not to exceed the limits of the airframe. A foamie airframe has far less strength than a moulded composite airframe. This is a big minus but use the throttle stick appropriately. Another advantage is flight time. EDF jets of this side with a 6S5000 to 6S6000 lipo pack will get 4-5 minutes flight time. A turbine powered jet will get 7-8 minutes flight time.
