1. Directions for safe operations
1.1. General safety instructions
The jet modeler in the USA shall comply to the AMA rules for turbine models operations. We require our customer to reading and complying with the docs and regulations enclosed on this page:
http://www.modelaircraft.org/documents.aspx#Turbines
The operation of any jet engine can be dangerous. This also holds true for the
B300F
. During operation, the jet efflux and parts of the jet nozzle
become very hot; the nozzle can reach up to 700 °C. In addition, the turbine fans do reach very high rotation speeds, which leads to extreme tensile loads and temperatures. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that parts of a failing turbine fan wheels or broken fans could strike through the housing which can lead to damage and even injury or death.
Study the operation mode and the dangers of operation before using a jet engine. In case you have no experience with the operation of gas turbines and jet engines, instruction by an experienced person, especially before initial operation, is mandatory. Errors in mounting and operation of a jet engine can lead to damage, injury, or death.
Follow AMA regulations concerning aircraft, the operation of jet engines, and the handling of combustible liquids and gases. You are exclusively responsible to have sufficient insurance when operating aircraft. You are also responsible to protect other persons from injury and danger. Operating personnel and their assistants must be in best physical and mental condition and pay full attention to the operation.
This engine must only be used for unmanned operation in R/C aircraft. The instructions in this manual must be exactly followed.

Page 6
Ultimate Jets B300F User manual rev5. 1st June 2014 5
1.2. Warning
Consider the basic differences between gas turbines and piston engines. Turbines will deliver power only at high rotation speeds. Then there will be a lot of power (see diagram).
Higher loads occur when driving an R/C aircraft model with a turbine compared to equally powerful drives like propellers or impellers.
This is a result of considerably higher air speeds caused by jet propulsion. Maximum speeds under jet propulsion can exceed 200 mph, depending on
the model. We would like to remind you that the AMA has issued strict rules regarding maximum speed for operating turbine powered RC models. Please refer to the AMA regulations from the link posted above.
Servos should be carefully chosen, at least 1.5 times as strong as for comparable models with conventional engines. Ultimate Jets supplies a set of tools to compute servo torque requirements and choose the proper servo for the task. Please refer to our technical publications.
During installation, seal the intake and nozzle, as well as kerosene joints to keep dust and debris out of the engine.
Really make sure to:
first inform, then buy  have the fitting size model for your turbine  select servos that are powerful enough  construct servo wiring and rudder joints very carefully and
reinforced
seal the turbine during the installation process
Page 7
Ultimate Jets B300F User manual rev5. 1st June 2014 6
1.3. Before starting the engine
Tank system, pump, shut-off kerosene valves and turbine must
be checked for correct alignments.
Loose parts in the intake area must be fixed in a way they can
never be sucked in. Loose parts or dirt can damage or destroy the turbine. recommend the use of a FOD screen.
Have a fire extinguisher (CO2) within reach!  The kerosene system must not be leaking.
Use only kerosene or Diesel with a 5% ratio of oil (fully
syntethic 2-stroke mix oil or turbine oil).
Take off must be against the wind.  Hold the turbine with the nozzle facing downwards right before
starting so that any excess of fuel can run off to avoid a hot start of the engine.
1.4. During operations
Always stay in front of the turbine (intake facing), never to the
side or in the exhaust area of the turbine.
Also make sure that no other persons or animals are present in
the mentioned dangerous areas.
Keep your hands and every kind of object out of the area within
20 cm of the compressor (intake). The enormous suction can grasp everything within reach and cause severe injury or damage.
Never look into the jet exhaust. Severe burns could result.
Page 8
Ultimate Jets B300F User manual rev5. 1st June 2014 7
1.5. After shutting down the engine
Place model with the nose facing the wind. Wait until the
cooling down process is completed.
Be aware of the cooling process after engine shut down.
During this process, the electric power supply of the receiver and the ECU must not be turned off. The cool down process takes 1 to 2 minutes, depending on the outside air temperature.
Do not touch the turbine during the cool-down because the
danger of burning still exists.
All tube connections must be inspected for leakage after each
flight. The fuel tanks must be emptied in case of extreme outside air temperatures or when there is no further operations planned for the day (danger of explosion!).

Ultimate Jets B300F User manual rev5. 1st June 2014 8
2. Installation of the turbine
2.1. Attachment Options
The frame to bracket attachment points must be parallel (check
before fastening). Otherwise uneven tensions could damage the engine casing. The B-300F generates so much thrust that
the included bracket is not sufficient to hold the engine.
IT IS ESSENTIAL TO SECURE THE ENGINE WITH AN
ADDITIONAL AND REDUNDANT FASTENING SYSTEM. SEE THE TWO OPTIONS BELOW ( SILICON GLUING OR ADDITIONAL TABS )
Attach the turbine only with the provided bracket, screws and
washers (see picture 2). Use a thin bead of Loctite 5940 high temperature silicon between the bracket and the engine casing. Please apply a thin coat of wax on the engine casing at the glue bead location before fastening the bracket on the engine. This way the bracket can be removed relatively easily from the engine.
Should you want to avoid gluing the bracket on the engine, you
can use the securing tabs provided with the engine in a separate bag and follow the specific instructions included with the set.
Page 10
Ultimate Jets B300F User manual rev5. 1st June 2014 9
2.2. Engine mounting rules
The engine must be installed in a way that the fuel starter tube
is in the 12 o'clock position. This is absolutely vital for proper
kerosene start on the
B300F
engine. Otherwise, the start, i.e.
the ignition, would fail and might even lead to engine damage.
There must not be any flammable objects near the turbine. The
turbine must not be touched by flammable objects.
The nozzle and the whole area in the neighborhood of the jet
exhaust must be kept clear of any objects.
In case of mounting within a bypass enclosed system, the rear
end of the installation area and any parts which could be affected by the hot jet exhaust should be protected with non­flammable materials (danger of fire!). When an extension of the nozzle is necessary, it must be constructed and installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications (overheating!).
The turbine must be installed in a way that it can be cooled by
a bypassing air stream.
Combustible liquids and gases as well as tanks and tubes must
be kept away from or installed at a safe distance from the engine.
The intake area (impeller / compressor) must be kept clear.
Any wires, tubes, etc. must be installed and fixed in a way they cannot be sucked into the turbine. In general, there should not be any objects or installations close to the front end of the turbine.
The intake section of the model should have at least twice the
area of the impeller/compressor wheel.
You must make sure that no objects, e.g. rocks, dirt, screws,
etc., can be sucked into the turbine. It is a good idea to protect the turbine intake with a Foreign Object Damage screen (see accessories for FOD screen).
The intake area must absolutely be kept clear. The vacuum
generated by the intake is very strong. Make sure that the intake duct is reinforced with carbon fiber, especially if it is long.

Ultimate Jets B300F User manual rev5. 1st June 2014 10
2.3. Assembly of the complete system
Please look at the installation schematics number 1 as well as
the installation picture number 2 in the appendix section.
The optimum size of the fuel tank depends on the model but
should be at least 2.5 liters. The optimum size for the
B300F
is 4 - 5 liters, which is enough for an average air time of 6 – 8 minutes, depending on your style of flying. For further information please see technical data, fuel consumption. There must be a clunk in the tank.
The tank set up should be made using a new generation
hopper tank. Please refer to the installation schematics " engine fuel supply". All the fuel lines and vents must be of at
least 4 mm ID.
Use yellow, highly flexible Tygon tube, attach it to the pump
and secure with safety wire. Fuel system accessories can be found in the Ultimate Jets line of products.
The fuel pump must be installed directly after the hopper tank.
Be careful to install the pump correctly (brass fitting = draw side). The electric wiring of the pump hast to be done with the correct polarity (+ / -). If the pump is not wired correctly, it will not work properly and will transport no fuel
Install the fine filter on the pressure side downstream the
Hausl fuel pump (side out). Install, a Y Festo quick connector downstream the filter; using the red and blue 4mm tubes provided. Plug each tube to a fuel valve, respecting the flow direction engraved on the valve ( thin arrow engraved on the top of the valve ). The electric connection of the main line valve should be made at the ECU “KERO VALVE” input. The fuel line should be connected to the turbine using the engine quick connector
labeled „ KEROSINE
The electric connection of the start line valve should be made at the ECU “PROP-VALVE“ input. The fuel line should be connected to the turbine using the engine quick connector
labeled „IGNITION“.
Page 12
Ultimate Jets B300F User manual rev5. 1st June 2014 11
All FESTO quick connectors (blue head) are self-locking.
They are connected and disconnected this way:
Insert the tube strongly. There should be no resistance felt for the first 6mm of travel. However on the next 6mm (approximately) resistance should be felt. Only then the tube is perfectly locked in. For release, push the blue cap in the direction of the connector's body and remove the tube by pulling.
Now the turbine should be electrically wired to the ECU:
Connect the turbine via power lead to the ECU at the Glow / Starter output. Also connect the black data cable to the turbine and the Sensors input of the ECU.
Connect the I/O Interface with the ECU at the “Terminal“
connection. Then the data terminal can be connected to the I/O Interface. The I/O Interface serves as control interface; it features acoustic and optic control. The data terminal does not need to be installed in the model for day to day operations.
Power supply:
Rechargable batteries of at least 30C rating and 3500 mAh and up to 5500mAh of 3 cells type must be used.
We recommend high rating 3S Lipo and a maximum of 12 volts.
Connect the battery to the “BATTERY” input of the ECU. Use
a high quality pure copper or silver cable of gauge cable of 10 AWG, especially if the distance between the battery and the engine is long.
Disconnect the battery from the ECU when not in use to prevent discharge. Check for the right polarity at power plug! Long battery wires should be twisted!
Finally connect the receiver to your ECU. The cable is welded
on the ECU. Only use original adaptor cables if other receiver plugs are necessary. The ECU is only operated by one input channel (engine power limiter).

3. First Turbine Operations
3.1. Initial steps
Fill the fuel tank with kerosene. Ensure a 5% oil mix.  Make sure the tank breather is open!  Filter your fuel when filling up using a line filter on your jerrycan.  Make sure that both the ECU battery and the receiver battery are
charged.
Test your remote control range with and without the ECU turned
on.
Always place the model with the nose into the wind and make
sure that the jet blast will not be set in the direction of persons or equipment.
Turn the transmitter and the receiver ON.  The Pro-Jet ECU is mostly pre-adjusted and tuned to your
turbine. If the unit starts in German, you can change the
language to English in menu 3.2 ( System-> Sprache ).
However you'll have to teach your remote control unit throttle
range to the ECU. The failsafe range should be programmed at
this stage. Please refer to 3.3 below. Then, follow the ProJet
instructions on page 16, to learn RC from menu 2.1.
It is necessary to prime the fuel system before the first operation
in a new model. That means both starter and main fuel lines must be filled with kerosene up to the engine. Priming is done manually with throttle back, and trim low on the transmitter. Press the small black smc push button on the left side of the I/O board. This will open both fuel valves and start the pump. Check the kerosene progression in the lines carefully to prevent the turbine from being flooded. Stop priming just before kerosene enters the turbine. Do not pump kerosene into the turbine.
This procedure must be done before the first engine run as well
as if dry running has occurred due to tanks emptying or unpriming.
Should the turbine have been flooded, place the model with the
nozzle facing downwards ( nose up ) to allow excess kerosene to exit the turbine. This should avoid a hot start, that can damage the turbine.
Page 14
Ultimate Jets B300F User manual rev5. 1st June 2014 13
3.2. Starting your turbine
Be sure to have a fire extinguisher (CO2) within reach.  The ECU runs through an automated calibration routine to
adjust fuel metering to outside air parameters as well as tube length. The Hornet III ECU, does this routine at every start.
On the first boot-up the ECU will adjust the temperature probe
and the pump's starting voltage. The turbine is then ready for start (green I/O LED ON ).
Set trim to max, then throttle to max. The terminal will indicate "STANDBY". The ECU is waiting for your order to start ( red I/O LED ON ). Simply retard throttle stick to minimum and within three seconds
to full. The starting sequence will run. See the Pro Jet instructions (page
26). Note that during the sequence, the turbine will calibrate for idle
and mid rev at ca. 60 000 rpm. Hold or adjust your model for this procedure. The procedure can be interrupted any time using emergency stop by pulling the trim and throttle stick in the aft position.
After that auto calibration routine, the turbine can be controlled
with the throttle ( red I/O LED OFF ).
All the parameters necessary for the turbine's safe operation
are now controlled by the ECU.
Conduct a test run of your turbine, possibly while testing the
range of your model.
Shut off the turbine at mid rev range. This is done by putting
the throttle stick to mid position, then setting the trim back all the way and then pulling the throttle stick back to idle position.
An engine shut-off from medium rotation speeds achieves a gentler cool down of the rear ball bearings and the whole system.
Put the model against the wind and wait until the after cooling
process is over (around 2 minutes). When completed, you can turn off the receiver unit.
Check the model’s fuel supply connections and de-fuel, if
necessary.

Ultimate Jets B300F User manual rev5. 1st June 2014 14
3.3. Control Functions and failsafe
In case of error, check the ProJet manual. From p. 16 onwards
you will find some concise error descriptions and explanations.
Transmitter signal lost: Auto shut off happens if the transmitter
signal fails on PPM receivers. Attention! With PCM receivers, the fail safe function should be programmed to idle in order to avoid emergency stops upon intermittent receiving errors.
With 2.4 Ghz receivers, the throttle range has to be
programmed and failsafe position teached to the transmitter.
Setup the throttle ATV from the transmitter at +- 150%. Then
program the failsafe throttle point at -150%.
Adjust the throttle ATV range back to +- 100%. Make sure that
no throttle curve is programmed in the transmitter. Learn RC from the ECU ground support unit in menu 2.1. Please refer to the transmitter user manual to set the failsafe point.
The fail safe auto shutdown must be checked at the field. With
the turbine running, switch off the transmitter and make sure that the turbine shuts down. The ECU status should read
"failsafe" and the I/O board should beep continuously. This is
an AMA requirement.
3.4. Tuning Options / Electronics
Please refer to the Pro Jet manual for tuning options. You
should study the latter carefully.
Avoid a system reset!!!
As a result, the ECU may have to be updated at the Ultimate Jets factory again.
The ECU features a code controlled menu system. Every
number features an individual menu point. From these menu points you have options of changing different pre-set parameters. This should, if at all, be done very carefully because the factory setting of most parameters is already optimal.
The following parameters are to be verified, i.e. changed, also
after a system reset (see attached sheet).
3.1 Battery voltage
2.3 Adjustment of the temperature probe
2.2 Glow voltage
2.1 Pulse width of the sender signal
1.4 Pump starting voltage

4. Maintenance Instructions
4.1. Correct Maintenance of Your Turbine
BF turbines only need little maintenance under normal operating conditions. However, some points must be considered to guarantee a faultless operations of the engine. This includes regular cleaning and inspection.
Dirt and grease deposit can cause slippage of the starter unit
clutch. If this happens, clean the rubber o’ring and the
compressor nut with a degreaser like alcohol or naphta.
The felt clunks mounted into the tanks should be cleaned or
changed after 10 hours of operation.
The pressure line filter between the pump and the turbine
should be cleaned every 5 hours of operation.
Do this very carefully and make sure that no particle will enter the fuel supply tube. Destruction of the turbine could result!
Make sure the o-ring is in the correct position when screwing the filter back together. Check for leak integrity!
Cover the intake and nozzle areas when the turbine is not in
use.
Keep the turbine in a dry and dust-free environment when it is
not used for a longer time. We recommend a dehumidifier to prevent corrosion.
Check the battery condition regularly.
Your turbine’s maintenance interval is at 40 to 50 hours
(about 300 flights). After this time as well as after a special event (crash, etc.) the turbine should be returned to the factory.
Page 17
Ultimate Jets B300F User manual rev5. 1st June 2014 16
4.2. Repair Work
Repair and maintenance work which include the disassembly of the turbine must only be performed by professional personnel.

6.3. Other considerations and pictures
When the turbine is not used or returned to the factory, the kerosene and propane joints must always be sealed. Please use included plugs. Miniscule particles can clog kerosene tubes and fault free operation of the turbine cannot be guaranteed.
Repair costs of up to 360 Euros can be the result.
Tank size must be determined by the user. See technical data, fuel consumption. Usually 2 – 3 liter
tanks are used with
B300F
turbines. Drill a 6 mm hole in the fuel tank cap of your choice.
Use the included tank pendulum device and screw it together with the tank cap. Check for tightness. Cut a piece of Tygon tube with a length of ca. 120 – 150 mm. This is the ideal length for the typically used
1.5 liter and 2.0 liter Coca Cola bottles. The length of the tank pendulum, however, depends on the
type of tank used. We recommend to choose the length the way that the felt pendulum lies at around 75% of the tank length.
Now place a 6mm flat washer on the felt pendulum and connect it with the
Page 29
Ultimate Jets B300F User manual rev5. 1st June 2014 28
Tygon tube. This will prevent slippage of the felt body. Then secure the Tygon tube connections with wire. Again, check for leak tightness.
Weld the battery cable to your chosen battery. Red = plus, black = minus. We recommend a good quality 3S Lipo of a capacity of at least 3500mAh and 30C discharge capacity have proven to be ideal for
turbines of type
B300F
. Energy consumption is roughly 450 – 550 mAh, depending on your style of
flying, for a 8 minutes flight and cool down period.
When using a nozzle extension with your model, the diameter of the extension pipe and the distance from nozzle to nozzle extension must be
correct. With
B300F
turbines the
entry diameter of the extension pipe should be around 130mm while the end diameter should measure around 110mm. The shorter the nozzle extension the smaller the loss of power.
When using BF Turbines nozzle extension pipes for
B300F
type
turbines, the distance from the end of the aluminum turbine housing to the aluminum hopper should be 3 – 4 cm. The extension pipe must be securely attached to the model.
