This is Part 3 of my FTL Lancer turbine jet build — and this is where things get exciting.
After the challenges in Part 2, I finally track down and fix the retract issue, get the model properly balanced, and move one step closer to flight.
But the real highlight… the turbine setup and first run.
In this video I cover:
• Troubleshooting and fixing the retract issue
• Balancing the FTL Lancer for flight
• Setting up the turbine for its first run
• Running the turbine up on the Field of Dreams
Hearing the turbine come to life for the first time is a huge milestone in any jet build — and this one did not disappoint.
We’re now getting very close to maiden flight…
If you’re into turbine jets, large-scale RC builds, or want to see what it really takes to get one of these machines ready, make sure you follow the full series.
