Would this stuff be ok to make a thrust tube for a 90mm f16??

Hello to make a pipe out of it for EDF, how to glue the ends together? I suppose epoxy nor CA won't do the trick.
 Gary 2958 points
Some CA glues will work but may fog the plastic and make it look a bit smokey,the Odourless type will stop this and should stick it ok.Other than that a solvent based plastic glue will work but must be used sparingly as it melts the surface of the plastic to fuse it together,too much on thin plastic and it will warp/distort it.

to be clear for everyone. If you buy 2 pieces you'll get 2 times 1meter!

we need thickness 0,8 mm for vac-forming

Can I use this on a scratch build for the wings instead of styrofome like the Parkzone Night Vapor?

Is there a rule of thumb for making EDF tubes? ie. output size 10% smaller than the actual EDF or does it depend on EDF size?
 GTR 34 Skyline 39 points
Rule of thumb is that the length of the tube needs to be at least 30cm for the reduction to be 10% so the length needs to be accounted for, you can easly work it out on a calculator if your tube is shorter.

 Boaterguy 68 points
So the outlet size is not fixed, it's the ratio of reduction to length. I always thought people made fixed outlet sizes regardless of the length of the tube.
 GTR 34 Skyline 39 points
No as the length counts for the thrust generated try it out and see as I pay for a sheet and there can be a difference of anywhere up to 100grams of thrust like on my A10 warthog.
 Boaterguy 68 points
Wow I didn't know it would make that much of a difference, I'll experiment with about a 30cm tube.
 GTR 34 Skyline 39 points
You dont realy need to go beyond the 10% reduction if you need a longer tube but the reduction is based on the inside diameter of Ducted Fan shroud you are fine to start the tube on the outside of the EDF shroud you only need to be very exact if you are into serious thrust output but otherwise just mount to the outside of shroud then reduce by 10% of the inside diameter of the shroud. If it is to confusing I can place a diagram vid with this product.
 Boaterguy 68 points
Nope, I got it, thanks.
 GTR 34 Skyline 39 points
That is what I mean the outlet of the thrust tube has to be 10% regardless of length

Has anyone considered making car bodies with this, or is it just a stupid idea? *-)
 Panagiotis 1 points
is not astupid idea. with a good mold and a vacum system you can do it.
 marcopico 85 points
Yes but I thought maybe it's not a good material for this application (not flexible enough?).

Sorry but is this the stuff that you put over the cheap wooden plane wings?? im confessed

Hi yes it is, just use some gule, I'll find the gule in the gule part under the tools

PET is commonly used for EDF thrust tube material. I wouldn´t cover my wings with this heavy material!
 Geir 86 points
You can use it to vacuum-mold canopy or other plastic parts.

Hi there how would we use the films. And what's the purpose to use it for thanks.
 Paris 1 points
You can cut and use it as windows or make a home made canopy.Dont heat it to much close.

Most people use it for Thrus tubes to give greater speed to a model but less accel is the price. if u have a vacume former (the other use for this) you would not need to ask :}

Hello,
It is an ideal product to make the cabins, aircraft, and helicopters.
Using a mold, and heat. With the aid of an aspirator.
Vacuum form.

Did someone try the vac forming with this? If so, what temperature? does it become white with heat? TXS
 CARVER99 17 points
it does vac form well, i use heat lamps and watch it closely, not sure of temp. it stays clear and forms well. I usually expand the plastic first with a burst of air then suck it down, this gives an even forming.

 dexerit 24 points
I tried in the oven, and it have a large spectral of temp. goes from 110°*C to 230°*C without problem, don't become white... very nice, but I think a little too thin... a 4C should be better for large canopies?

It's a good thing if you need to build you own parts and they don't fit PET bottles.
