That Scheme is SuperCool!! I might steal it from you when I order my Pro!! 😁
QUOTE=bodywerks;12585757]Those of you with Carf version 2M Rebel, can you weigh yours for me? Empty weight, full UAT. it might help me decide on a turbine for mine before I actually have it in my hand and assembled. I just placed a custom scheme order for the Classic through Ray. This scheme:

it has a 160 turbine migh that be the difference, and also who knows what size UAT and equipment it has... 🤷🏻♂️
i can weight mine with a 120 and a 100cc Uat from Fct next week in case if you still need the info, I dont run any pwr box or so, just 12ch rx, wireless switch and a cortex pro, 2 2600 jeti lion Batt and a 2100 mah liffe...

Is it an airframe whistle or an engine whistle? If it's an engine whistle (usually heard at higher throttle) it may be too far from the pipe.

I'm pretty sure it is either an airframe whistle, or the servo arms he is using. They are Futaba, I believe, and the rudder one might be at just the right angle to cause a whistle with air passing through it:

I saw it at at JP and it had a 260 but never when abobe 75% of power, (my friend did the flights there) as you know this are super light... KT I heard is having a 220 very soon and for my Pro it would be just 180, I’ve flown a Pirotti on a P180 and was superb..
I’ll go with the new K180G4 that uses the same case of their k160G2 so it’s gonna be light...

240-250 !!! thats way to much and don’t need it.... the Max’s arriving here will all be 210’s

The smallest turbine I would go with would be a 210, but I honestly know I will likely be disappointed in thrust performance, unless I can get TO weight to 40lbs - which, with smoke, I don't see happening. If the 240-250 that I am looking at ends up only being a pound or so heavier than the 210 while offering 10lbs more thrust, it's a no-brainer for me. I personally love the idea of not over-working a turbine. They stay happier for longer that way.
My Rebel classic is getting a 170 It's in my 2.2M predator right now and I find the power to be only 'satisfactory'...
I should also add that where I fly has a density altitude almost always above 5,000 feet, and nearing 10,000 feet in the summer, which may be factoring in on my personal taste as far as power goes.

On the CARF Hawk I did with a DS-98 I shaped the outlet to get it as big as possible, it was slightly off round. You have a lot to play with there on outlet. It’s still how are you going to feed the fan!

Dave, I'd consider opening up one or 2 of the black squares on the fuse side ahead of the inlets (the black trim scheme) and also look at adding a NACA duct on the bottom.
I'd run a bell-mouth and no intake ducting (or perhaps very short ones from each side).
I don't know how much intake area there already is, so I don't know how much extra area is needed; (do you have one to measure?)
These are just some
ideas and may not be feasible.
I have the CARF Viperjet and marvel at the lightness and strength. Gotta be an EDF option on this one, somehow....
