    Fei bao ef 2000 typhoon developed and written by luke cullen the following instructions are developed based on a kingtech k140 turbine, spektrum powerbox, and spektrum and jr radio. Think of the build as working from the back to the front which makes it seem easier. Every step focuses on easy mainte...

    I have used swb alloy arms for all of the flying surfaces to increase the integrity of all the controls. They are 25mm arms which is ample for the amount of movement you need. I have tried to arrange a construction sequence that will allow you to keep moving forward, rather than standing around wait...

    Air systems: the ef2000 uses pneumatic brakes and retracts so follow the steps and you should have very reliable leak-free operation. Neatness counts so ensure all airlines should be secured to the airframe to keep them from flopping around or getting kinked. I used plastic clips to keep all the wir...

  • Page 7: Rudder:

    Rudder: rudder: rudder: rudder: the rudder servo mounts inside the fin and is secured by 4 screws. Rough up the rudder horns and check the depth where they sit on the rudder. Check the positioning as the hole in the horn should be directly over the hinge point. Hysol the control horns to the rudder....

  • Page 8: Canards:

    Rough up all the hinges with 60grit sandpaper before gluing them into the surface to ensure a good glue joint. You will also need to cut a slot in the side where the horn comes out for the linkage mount the rudder on the fuselage with the screws already fitted inside the model as well as the 3mm bol...

  • Page 9

    Use an incidence meter to guide where you set the canards. Check the wings and then set the canards at the same angle. This will be very close for the test flight..

  • Page 10: Wings:

    Wings: wings: wings: wings: the same methods are adopted for the servos and linkages for the elevons. Keep in mind the position of the control horns; they have to be directly over the hinge line. Make up extension leads for the elevon servos as they need to be longer. Hysol the horn in place after r...

    Mount the servo to the plastic mounts provided and then screw the servo to the hatch with the countersunk 3mm screws. This is the leading edge slat one below but the same method is used on all the servos. Use loctite on all screws to make sure nothing comes loose. Bolt on the linkages for the elevon...

  • Page 12

    Mount the servos for the leading edge slats, i used spektrum 6020 12 kg servos. Use the same method to mount the servos with the plastic mounts provided. I used heavy duty nylon servo arms and cut them off short. The room is limited in this area so trial fit everything. I adjusted all 4 servos using...

  • Page 13

    Where possible i used rubber grommets to protect the servo wiring. Enlarge the holes where the grommets sit for a good fit..

  • Page 14

    Screw the covers provided to the wings to cover the servo arms and linkage. The end where the surface moves will need to be cut and made a separate piece..

  • Page 15

    Sit the plastic cover on the wing to work out where to cut it. I screwed the pieces to the wing so if you needed access to the servo you could remove it easily. After the flying surfaces are finished i bolted all the rockets and tanks on with the hardware provided. I did not add the tanks and rocket...

  • Page 16: Airlines:

    Airlines: airlines: airlines: airlines: complete all airlines now so the ducting can be installed. It is also advisable to run all the extension leads for the rudders, elevons, leading edge slats, and nose wheel and canard servo. Black air hoses are for brakes; keep these identical lengths to keep y...

  • Page 17: Ducting:

    Ducting: ducting: ducting: ducting: for simplicity i cut the front ducting so removing it was easier. You must fit the steering servo before all this is completed. The airlines and servo wiring needs to be completed before the ducting can be installed too. All hardware is included for the steering. ...

  • Page 18

    Trim all the ducting to fit around the intakes and allow for easy maintenance if things need to be removed..

  • Page 19: Tailpipes

    T t t tailpipes ailpipes ailpipes ailpipes : mount the nozzles to the fuselage with the 3mm bolts provided. Add the detail pieces to the rear and underside. The piece shown below mounts with a 3mm bolt too. I used hysol to mount both pieces. This piece is glued with hysol to the bottom of the fusela...

    Use the 3mm bolts and washers to mount the exhaust nozzles. Test fit the exhaust pipe to check for length, this will determine where the turbine mounts. Ensure you mount the turbine as far forward as possible. Leave a 10- 15mm gap between the pipe and the outer nozzle that is fine..

  • Page 21

    I cut a mount for the pipe from 6mm plywood. This mounts to the inner pipe and has relief holes to provide cooling between the pipes. This then mounts to the rear of the engine mount leaving the tailpipes 10mm inside the nozzles. The pipe setup aids with the cooling and performance of your turbine. ...

    Mount the pipe bracket to the engine rails with the bolt already there. I also mounted the bypass to the rails as well. This keeps the entire set up mounted solidly. Test fit the turbine and fit blind nuts under the rails. Also use the countersunk screws so they are flush. I put all the 3mm screws i...

  • Page 23

    Mount the turbine using 4mm bolts, washers and loctite. When the turbine is mounted complete the wiring for the computer fuel lines and valves. When the ducting and wiring is complete clip up all wires where possible. The ducting will need trimming to suit your turbine. I made a relief cut under the...

  • Page 24: Fuel System

    Fuel system fuel system fuel system fuel system:::: plumb all the fuel tanks now so you can continue to move forward. I used dubro tanks, one 1900ml and 2 x 750ml. Use festo 4-6mm fittings for all the connections. They seal well and make it possible to do maintenance easily. The brass tube supplied ...

  • Page 25: Airtanks:

    Airtanks: airtanks: airtanks: airtanks: i paired the 2 large tanks for retracts and doors. The 2 smaller ones operate the brakes. The 2 smaller tanks went on the underside of the tray and the large on the top..

  • Page 26

    The ef2000 has a factory installed removable nose section which makes mounting the batteries very simple. I made a removable tray for both the batteries for the flight system. Mount the nosecone with the 4 x 3mm bolts using loctite on them..

  • Page 27

    I used an airpower valve for the wheels, doors and wheel brakes. This makes for a neat installation because of its simplicity. After all the nose section and fuel tanks are finished the next step is to complete a tray for the starting gear and main fuel tank..

  • Page 28

    I constructed one tray which has all the items for between flight maintenance. This means you only need to remove the hatch without removing the canopy. The tray was mounted on the cross brace that bolts in from side to side. Once all the wiring, air hoses and fuel lines are complete check the fit o...
