Propane regulator valve


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
Does anyone have a propane regulator valve that they want to sell? I just purchased Mike Block's boomerang sprint yesterday and the only thing i need to fly is a propane regulator so I can start er up. I can buy one from dreamworks if need be.

By the way, for anyone who doesn't already know, Mike is a super stand up guy who I would gladly deal with in the future. Thanks for the boomer Mike.

Now I can come to Wingham!!!!!!!! Wahoo!!

Thanks guys

Re: Propane regulator valve

If u get stuck, u can make one by yourself.

Go pick up a cheap basic propane torch, remove the burner tube at the end, drill out the end to 1/8" , solder in a piece of brass tube, slip a piece of line over the tube and you're good to go. Just make sure none of the filings get into the lines.

You do need to be carefully to open the valve just enough to get a start - too much propane is not good.

The first time you start your turbine it would be a good idea to have someone there with turbine experience.

Re: Propane regulator valve

Ok thanks Paul,

This is actually my 3rd turbine jet so I have a bit of experience with them. Thanks for the advice though.
