Turbine Specs
Matt Hi
Are the weights quoted on the Jet Cat (German) web site for the complete install, (engine,valves,ecu,etc) or just for the engine (including starter?)?
Lastly I am thinking of using a P160sx instead of the recommended P120 size, because it is the same case size and only weighs 60g more and I wish to be able to use the engine in larger airframes.
With careful throttle management is it far to say that (if used at P120 ish power settings) the fuel burn would approximate to the lower figure of the less powerful P120? I guess thats a roundabout way of asking what shape is the fuel burn versus rpm curve?
Thanks
Phil.

Hi Phil,
I will confirm tomorrow, but I think that is safe to say that pound for pound the 2 turbines will have similar fuel consumption.

RE: Turbine Specs
While not quite the same engine, we found with the Titan SE we are able to run at reduced rpm (for the same performance), and the fuel economy is astounding for a large engine. One flight, the engine was running for 13 minutes (no taxi tank), in the air for 9, and still only burned about 3 litres of the 4.5 l. onboard.......
