Couple of Magnum44 measurements please

[SimT]

Could someone with a Magnum give me some rough measurements please?

1. Centre of turbine outlet to the end of the starter.

2.Height of the sideframes at the mainshaft.

3. Distance from bottom of sideframes to centre of tail torque rod.

Not too accurate needed just to a couple of mil to see if it will go in a fuz.

Thanks

Ok, here are the measurements off my Magnum, ( in inches, sorry):

* Centerline of exhaust outlet to end of starter: 9.625"

* Height of side frame at Mainshaft: 9.500"

* Bottom of side frame to centerline of tailboom: 7.375"

If you need anymore just let me know...

That's great - I just love those old fashioned measurements you guys use.

The BO 105 is one of my favourite helis so that would be what I wanted to put it in.
Yes, I know the exhausts would have to stick out of the sides but the right colour scheme could disguise that.
Vario do a 1:5 and a 1:5.6 for petrol and turbine. The 1:5 would be the one to use with plenty of room to move the mechanics around a bit.

With the turbine being low down and facing back it is going to be close to the back doors - maybe about 50mm (couple of ins. to you lot).

One of my concerns would be getting enough air into the blower in the confined space at the rear of the fuz. Any of you lot any thoughts obviously I could leave the rear windows open.

Thanks for your help

You could use cut outs, hidden with wire mesh painted the same color.
