JeffreyK Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Does anyone happen to have pictures of the current version of Jet Fuel Starter exhaust port on the fuselage underside between the engines (the one without the louvres/grille over the top)? Can't seem to find anything online... Cheers Jeffrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't seem to find anything online... Cheers Jeffrey Hi Jeffrey, this is a question that I've seen crop up before but with little success I'm afraid. F-15E dot net (see the link in Le Vander's post above) used to have some images but after the site re-vamp i could n't find them again. Basically, it is just a large, hollow pipe but it does appear to have a liner. See this article on F-15E dot info. There is a small thumbnail image in the top left hand corner. http://www.f-15e.info/joomla/technology/engines/97-jet-fuel-starter#0-6-forum-discussion HTH (If you want, have a look here to see how I tackled it: http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=73471&st=215 ) Edited January 22, 2013 by geedubelyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffreyK Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Thanks for the reply. Yes, I've seen your (incredible) build thread and several others as well, but I still haven't come across pictures of the real one. I suppose it's in the Melampy book, but that one I can't find either. I suppose the best way is like you did it - make a smooth shroud that blends seamless with the skin around and then insert a thin-walled liner tube and somehow create a bend forward until horizontal. According to the drawings on F-15E.info the duct exhausts is at an appox. 45° angle though - for that it really would be nice to see pictures of the real thing.

geedubelyer Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi Jeffrey, just in case you did n't see my response on ARC, drop me a PM with your e-mail and I'll send you some images. (I can't post them up here because they are n't mine.) Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
