BACKGROUND
​
The FTL Vortex turbine was developed to re-define what is possible in an RC jet turbine. The first port of call was to make as many improvements to the installation and fitting of the turbine as possible. To do this we have fully integrated the following elements; the starter motor, the fuel pump, solenoid valve & various sensors. This vastly reduces the time to set up and run cabling, along with a significant reduction in both the weight of accessories, the turbine itself and the actual time to fit and install everything.
​
The turbine was then cased in what we believe to be the most attractive outer skin on the market. This turbine not only looks beautiful, but is also a significant step forward to RC turbines in the market featuring several world firsts to market. Over the coming months we will focus on developing a range of sizes for this series with more coming early next year. ​​

SMALLER & LIGHTER WITHOUT COMPROMISING ON POWER
The FTl Vortex has been engineered to be the smallest and lightest turbine in its class. Not only does it have excellent power and aesthetics but it is also the easiest turbine to set up and use.
FTL VORTEX M10 - THE CABLING
SET UP USING ONLY TWO CABLES !
FUEL LINE IN
The Vortex turbine has been continually defined and developed to the point where you now only need two cables. The first runs from your fuel tank as per the image below. the Next is the power cable which uses a 3s lipo and also spurs off for throttle servo connection. There is no simpler way to run a turbine than an FTL Vortex.
