VA-115EFR Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Hey Guys, According to the directions on the A-6 build, it says to insert the front of the "white house" into the rear of the intake tunnel. While dry fitting the engine into the intake tunnel, I noticed that it creates a lip inside the intake not giving that "smooth flow" from the intake to the fan blades. Anyone else building this model have the same problem and/or a solution? I wish I could take pics, but my camera is inop. So I hope I explained this well. Thanks.

ziggyfoos Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I think the different diameters is what you're talking about? This has been noted by others. I recall somewhere, I thought here on ARC of someone using engine parts instead since they were closer diameter. Another option, and also that the lip should be there, is talked about at LSP forum Edited March 17, 2015 by Steve Belanger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karl h Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 i had the same problem on my build, "corrected" it, only to find out there IS a lip in the intake http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=47834&page=1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VA-115EFR Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks Guys! I used to crawl in these things to inspect the fan blades (AKA Duct Diver) and now I DO recall a lip there! (getting old) Just saw the pic on LSP website. Mine is pretty pronounced tho. Now knowing about the lip, I won't sweat it as much. Karl, you REALLY need to post your build here. AWESOME WORK!!!

Harold Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 i had the same problem on my build, "corrected" it, only to find out there IS a lip in the intake http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=47834&page=1 I did a 1/48 scale intake set that is in two parts, when glued up, it has the lip. I was flamed badly when I posted them for retail. The flamer said I was wrong.....so I posted a shot down the intake. I didn't hear from the flamer again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
