Welcome Notes
Dear PST J600R owner,
Congratulations on the purchase of your new PST J600R miniature turbojet engine.
Let us greet you in our Thai tradition, “Sawasdee” which means welcome or greetings in
Thai. We are committed to producing and delivering quality products to our customers.
As avid Jet modelers we feel we have a good understanding of what other modelers
look for and need in a turbine engine.
The J600R is the result of significant R&D and manufacturing development undertaken
since 1997. In early 2003, we launched the J600R which is the successor to our original
popular J600. The J600R incorporates a PST designed modified diffuser, combustion
chamber, and tail cone resulting in higher thrust output. The engine controller unit,
TEMS, is a state-of-the-art device which is specifically manufactured/programmed for
the J600R. Your engine and support system have been factory tested and passed our
rigorous quality control standards. The appearance of the bluish tinge on the exhaust
cone is normal after factory testing of the engine prior to shipment. Factory test runs
also serve as the “break-in” and seating of bearings and internal components
procedure. All engines leave the factory with the confidence that they meet
specifications for performance and reliability that our customers expect.
Safety is our credo. Regardless of your turbine experience, it is necessary to carefully
read this manual in its entirety before attempting to operate the J600R. This manual has
important information that will ensure safe operation of the J600R.
Please read it !
We are dedicated to customer satisfaction. Technical support is available thru email 7
days a week. Replacement parts are always in stock for prompt service ensuring quick

J600R Instruction Manual
Introduction to turbines
The first phase of turbine operation is intake and compression. In large-scale jet
engines, the compression phase may involve several stages of axial and radial
compression. For simplicity only a single centrifugal (radial) stage will be discussed in
this manual. Axial compression is rarely seen in model turbines and is more reliant on
having a clean air intake, similar to a ducted fan configuration. Centrifugal compressors
rely far less on ram air effects, clean intakes, and Reynolds number effects, making
them much more predictable at speed and much more suitable for use in model jets.
After the air leaves the radial compressor, it flows outward through a set of primary and
secondary diffuser vanes which harness the high velocity radial flow and transform it to
high pressure axial flow into the pressure chamber. Diffuser design is critical due to the
amount of losses induced in the transformation; the less energy lost in the compression
process, the less energy needed to drive the compressor for the same overall mass flow
and thrust output. Poorly designed diffusers can be susceptible to elevated temperature
at the engine’s front end and compressor surge / stall at different atmospheric
situations. The turbine outer diameter size is also a contributing factor to the efficiency
of the diffuser design. As the outside diameter increases, the airflow though the diffuser
is smoother and has lower velocity gradients. Our PST J600R is an excellent example
of a balancing act between performance vs. size and design complexity.

Next is the combustion phase. The combustion chamber is basically just a container
that houses a continuous and very intense explosion. High temperature materials such
as stainless steel Inconel and titanium are commonly used in large-scale turbines, but
thin stainless steel / Inconel sheet is usually the more cost effective material of choice
for models. The annular style chambers used in models have holes strategically located
in the inner and outer walls for feeding the combustion flame and for cooling the
exhaust gasses as they exit. Some holes are dimpled inward to produce higher velocity
mixing jets. Fuel is added from the rear end of the chamber, sprayed forward through a
number of vaporizer tubes that heat the fluid to produce a combustion ready air-fuel
mixture. Combustion occurs in the front section of the chamber and only persists for a
short distance rearward. After combustion, the optimized holes mix cool air (relatively
cool…+100°C approx.) with the exhaust gasses to bring them down to a more suitable
level in the exhaust turbine. (Absolute design maximum: 800° C in this case)

J600R Instruction Manual

Introduction to turbines (cont)
The turbine stage can also be radial or axial and involves multiple stages. For simplicity,
a single stage is discussed here. As the exhaust exits the combustion chamber, it
enters the nozzle guide vanes (NGV) which convert axial velocity to axial flow with a
large radial component. The swirl induced in the NGV is optimized for interaction with
the blade profile on the turbine wheel. The turbine wheel then harnesses a great deal of
energy from the exhaust gas flow’s radial component, leaving axial flow behind. The
energy is transferred through the shaft and used to drive the compressor while the
energy remaining in the exhaust flow after the turbine stage is converted directly into
thrust. Miniature turbines today are equipped with hi tech ceramic bearing to support the
shaft with the rotor assembly turning at more than 160,000 rpm. The J600/R uses two
GRW angular contact, cageless ceramic bearings which are rated up to 220,000 rpm.
That’s probably enough of an introduction on turbine theory. You bought this engine to
fly. We have done most of the difficult parts of turbine design/building and have
simplified operation procedures so that an average modeler can enjoy the world of jet
flying. Fasten your seat belt…let’s begin the exploration of the miniature turbine world
and see what we have in store for you.

Safety & Notes
I M P O R T A N T !!!
Safety:A model turbine engine is a highly sophisticated and potentially dangerous
device if used improperly. Your turbine should be treated with care and the application
of prudent safety standards. The following safety guidelines must be adhered to ensure
your safety, the safety of others and your enjoyment of your engine.
Fire Extinguishers Eyes & Ears Protection
a. Always have a good fire extinguisher ready when starting turbine engines (Halon
1211 or BF2000 type recommended). Chemical fire extinguishers can be used but in
this event the engine must be returned to PST Jets for cleaning and inspection.
b. Always protect your eyes and ears during startup or when in close proximity to the
starting of a turbine.
c. Always start the turbine outdoors with good ventilation.
d. Always handle Jet A1, Kerosene, and propane/butane gas in well-ventilated areas
away from any open flame or heat sources. These substances are highly flammable.
e. Do not stand in high risk areas of the turbine such as on the side and in the area of
hot air behind it; and the immediate area in front of the compressor wheel. Again we
emphasize never allow anyone to stand behind the turbine when it is started.
f. Do not touch the engine while it is running. Turbines rotate at very high rpm and the
engine casing can reach very high temperatures. Severe burns or body injuries can
occur if you come into contact with the casing and/or exhaust nozzle.
g. Do seek expert advice for installing the turbine and support system to the airframe.
h. Abort start or any flight attempts if excessive vibration or abnormal noise is evident.
i. Keep unauthorized persons, especially children, away from starting area. We
recommend at least 30 feet away.

J600R Instruction Manual
Safety & Notes (cont)
Notes:
a. The recommended and default settings programmed into the ECU should not be
altered unless absolutely necessary. The engine has been tested and operates to its
designed performance specifications under these parameters. We cannot guarantee
proper operation of the J600/R if the parameters are altered or different fuel pumps
and accessories are used. E-mail us for technical help if you have any questions.
b. Use good chargers to charge both ECU and Rx batteries. Limit the ECU battery
(7.2V Nickel Cadmium with at least 1700mAh capacity) to two flights for one full
charge. The fuel pump drains lots of current at high rpm and no flight should be
made without recharging the ECU battery after approximately 25 minutes of engine
run time.
c. Make certain that all wiring and plumbing is done correctly in accordance with the
information contained in this manual.
d. Use filtered and moisture free Jet A1, Jet A, or kerosene fuel only.
e. Use turbojet oil, we recommend Exxon 2380, Aero Shell 500, or Mobil Jet Oil II).
2-stroke oil is not allowed and will cause damage to the engine thus voiding the
warranty.
f. Fuel/Oil mixture of 5% should be used (See Fuel section for more details).
g. Extra fuel and gas filters are highly recommended to avoid clogging up of the “last
chance filters” located inside the front cover. The Kavan filter as shown in this
manual is a suitable filter type. Avoid cheap motorcycle or automobile plastic filters,
they may be used in the refueling system but not in the main system.
h. Bubble-elimination devices should be used in or as the header tanks for bubble-free
fuel. Seek expert advice if you are not experienced.
i. For manual or emergency shutdown, a fuel shut-off valve (Festo Ball Valve) is
included and should be installed between header tank and turbine fuel inlet.
j. LPG or camping gas with a maximum 70/30 Propane/Butane mix can be used. Use
a one-way valve for filling the gas canister. High pressure propane/butane can
freeze up the solenoid valve thus locking the valve in the closed position.
k. The fitting valves and connectors supplied are of a very high quality although other
similar products may be used.
l. When new devices or accessories are adopted, it is wise to test them on the bench
prior to installation into the airframe.

J600R Instruction Manual
Fuel System
A. Fuel Tanks
Fuel tank & Filter & Clunk Venting the tank Vent plug for storage
Fuel tube connection Main and header tanks Setup configuration
1. Use a sturdy polyurethane plastic bottle(s) or specially made Kevlar tank(s) with a
total capacity of at least 1.5 liter (2 liters recommended). This may vary upwards
depending on the requirements of your model including items such as size, weight,
wing loading and flight time requirements.
2. Use bubble-free filtered clunks for header tanks. We recommend the OS Super Filter
(size to suit tank size) as shown in the picture above. These filters are inexpensive
and do the job well. Similar bubble-elimination device may be used as well.
3. Use the clear 4mm tubing provided for the fuel line. Silicone gasoline/benzene
(Tygon) fuel line can also be used if preferred. If you want to connect Tygon fuel line
with the 4mm fuel line, insert at least ½ “ inch of the 4mm line into the Tygon line to
ensure a leak free connection
4. Vent the fuel system to avoid the creation of a vacuum. See pictures above and
diagram A. Important: Make sure the vent line is large enough, as insufficient venting
will cause a vacuum overcoming the fuel pump suction capability resulting in
flameout or the breakage of your fuel tank.
5. During startup we recommend that you run fuel lines from the main tank vent to an
external fuel tank outside of the airframe. The external fuel tank can serve as both
an overflow and ground start / supplementary fuel source. The airframe vent tube
should be at least ¾“ in length and cut 45 deg facing forward to avoid boundary air
effects. This takes up any fuel that flows out during filling, it also reduces
consumption of onboard fuel during startup which in turn allows you longer flight
times.
6. If multiple tanks are used, make sure that the tanks are of same size/shape and fuel
lines connecting the tanks are of equal length and that vent line is provided. See
diagram C for more details. Seek experienced or expert help if you are uncertain.

J600R Instruction Manual
Fuel System (cont)
7. Fueling is accomplished through the header tank into the main tank. Make sure that
air bubbles are removed from the header tank. Air inside the fuel line will cause a
flameout. Do not use flex tube or a clunk inside the header tank. The feed line
should be geometrically centered in the header tank. See diagram C for more detail.
8. After the header tank is filled you can then fuel directly into the main tank for faster
fueling. Your tanking system must be fitted with a fill tube to the main tank.
9. Ensure that you have safely wired and joined all line connections to prevent them
from coming loose during operation.
B. Fuel Pump
Pump in direction Festo Ball Valve Use good filter
1. Observe the pump fueling direction. Fuel goes in on the side marked by a small
indention and out on the other side.
2. Use the clear 4mm tubing provided for fuel line connections.
3. Install ball valve between header tank and engine, either between the header tank
and the pump (on suction side), or between the pump and engine (on pressure
side).
4. Use a good gasoline filter between the fuel pump and the engine. It is better to have
the filter behind the pump to avoid bubbles caused by suction/cavitations.
5. Ensure that all wires and line connections are properly joined and attached to
prevent them from coming loose during operation.
C. Fuel and Oil
Use clean & filtered fuel Turbo Oil Use clean fuel tank
1. Use Jet A, Jet A1, or kerosene. Make sure that the fuel is clean and free from
moisture and other forms of contamination. Water is heavier than fuel and will settle
at the bottom of the container.
Copyrights ©PST Jets Co., Ltd. - 7- Version 1.5.3/2005

J600R Instruction Manual
Fuel System (cont)
2. The fuel tank must be free from foreign particles.
3. Use good quality turbo oil such as those in the picture above. 2-stroke oil will cause
serious damage to the engine and void your warranty.
4. The fuel must be mixed with 5 percent turbo oil. For simplicity, mix five parts of oil to
100 parts of kerosene. The J600 will tolerate mixture imperfections between 4-6%.
Too little oil will shorten the bearings life due to higher temperature. Too much oil will
reduce the engines performance due to unnecessary stress on the bearings.
5. We recommend that the fuel be mixed in gallon scales, as the mixing will be more
accurate. Example: mix 1 quart of oil to 5 gallons (19 liters) of kerosene. Most turbo
oil comes in quart cans, so mixing with 5 gallons of kerosene is simple.
Gas System

3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
A custom machined internal gas canister is provided with a quick connector
attached.
Use the blue 4mm tubing provided for gas connections.
The two-way quick connect is connected to the gas solenoid valve and the one-way
valve.
The direction of the one-way valve is marked on the valve itself. "IN" direction is from
the end with silver tape. The valve must be connected with the "IN" direction facing
away from the canister to allow proper filling. In the pictures above the "IN" direction
is plugged with an orange stopper.
The tube ends should be pushed all the way into the connector/valve to avoid
leakage.
Fill the canister by connecting an external gas source (Propane/butane 70/30 mix) to
the one-way valve "IN" direction. Point the external gas-filling tank (GAS CAN) down
to let the liquid flow into the canister.
Stop filling when the canister is 1/4 to 1/2 full. Since there is no visual indication, just
approximate the filling amount. Very little is actually required for one successful auto
start. The canister supplied is larger than required. From our tests, we can obtain
more than 5 starts with one fill (3 starts with a new gas cartridge).
Copyrights ©PST Jets Co., Ltd. - 8- Version 1.5.3/2005
Disconnect the filling line carefully, as high pressure propane is present in the line
and will be forced out briefly. Safety: Use towels or rags to cover the valve and keep
your face and eyes away during disconnection. Do not smoke any where near your
turbine at any time.

J600R Instruction Manual
Gas System (Cont)
9.
10.
Make sure that the canister/cartridge stands upright in the airframe to avoid liquid
gas entering the engine. During start, excessive flame and engine surge will result if
the liquid gas is allowed to enter the engine. (This is known as a hot start) This is not
healthy for the combustion chamber or your model.
For safety purposes, the onboard gas canister/cartridge should be emptied after
flying sessions prior to storage. Simply disconnect the line to the solenoid valve or
the one-way valve. Safety: Use towels or rags to cover the valve and keep your face
and eyes protected during the disconnection.
B. External Gas Tank
1. External gas tanks may be used to replace the internal canister/cartridge.
2. Use a similar manual valve connection as shown in the picture above (the valve is
not included but available as an option from PST).
3. Connect the external gas line to the solenoid valve via a quick disconnect connector.
4. Do not by-pass the gas solenoid valve during start. Incorrect manual metering of the
gas may cause internal damage and flame coming out of tail cone.
5. Before start, open the external gas tank valve.
6. After start, close the valve and disconnect the external gas tank. Take care that the
disconnection is done far from the exhaust cone as there could be excess gas
escaping during disconnection. Remember that this gas is highly flammable.
C. One-way Valve
One-way valve "IN" direction is from the silver shaded side.
Use this valve for filling the gas canister.
D. Quick Disconnect Connector
This can be used for both kerosene and gas. It allows easy
connection and disconnection of tubing extension.

1. Use a good 6-cells 7.2V Ni-Cad or 7.4V Lithium Polymer
battery pack for the ECU
2. Use at least 1700mAh capacity battery
3. The supplied battery pack is Sanyo 1700SCR mAh
B. Fuel & Gas Filters
Gas and Kerosene “last chance” filters are
already fitted inside the front cover
Extra protection is recommended with
additional external filters
C. Glow Plug
Glow Plug & Needle Pull Out the coil Coil pulled out 2mm Glow Plug Cap
1. Use an OS glow plug or similar threaded plug. Higher resistance or colder glow
plugs may require higher glow voltage and this is programmable via the GDT. (see
TEMS section)
2. The coil needs to be pulled out. We recommend using a needle for this job. Be
careful when pulling out the coil so as not to break the filament. For a new glow plug,
heating the filament prior to pulling out the coil will greatly reduce the chance of
breakage.
3. The coil must be pulled out about 2mm.
4. Replace the glow plug carefully and tighten firmly. Just firmly, do not over tighten.
5. The red glow plug cap goes over the plug. Pull the red spring-loaded wire and place
the cap over the glow plug, then release to engage the glow plug head.
6. Make sure that the cap fits firmly and will not come loose during operation. Tie down
the wiring to prevent any possibility of the cap entering the turbine if it inadvertently
comes loose.

J600R Instruction Manual
PST TEMS - Turbine Engine Management System
The PST TEMS is a highly sophisticated electronic turbine controller that is simple to
operate. It incorporates coding and circuitry designed and written specifically for the
J600/R. Your J600/R will perform at optimum levels under the control of the PST TEMS.
Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to use the J600/R with an ECU system other
than the one provided. Such operations can cause the turbine to operate outside its
proper parameters which is dangerous and will void the warranty.
A. System Components
Your system consists of the following:
