Request for a stock turbine bearing

[The Optimist]

Anyone have a good engine bearing that I could take a look at? I want to make a helicopter, but my own turbines tend to explode or simply not work. Thanks in advance.

You won't fly with this as it is. Probably too much friction in the bearing (needs some of the wheels adjusting), and the engines aren't optimally placed. You'll need to enable infinite fuel. And the no-offset limits mod is an invaluable aid to building these things too.

1 to toggle to reheat. https://www.dropbox.com/s/aackujmk4mx0k05/rotor%20test.craft?dl=0

Edit: Sometimes I find it helpful to use Ibeams to show me the actual thrust vector rather than eyeballing it.

Funny, we made this discovery independently :-)

This is the only stock turboprop airplane published during 1.0.4. It won't work in 1.0.5 because the Wheesley's are replaced with a type that doesn't provide exhaust damage (Squad's name for the thrust that drives the turbines). But you can look at it's structure, compare with FlipNascar's engine, etc.

The base principle is the same, turboshaft & turboprop.
