I've built a red white and blue version with the 8S 90mm EDF and now starting the build on my yellow, red and black Mini Avanti that will be turbine. I was all set to pull the trigger on the KingTech K45G2 and noticed a new engine is now available. I talked to Dirk at Pacific RC Jets about it and the new K45G3M is out. The difference is that it is now, essentially, the same size as the K30. It weighs in at 450g compared to the G2 at 700g but produces the same amount of thrust. It's like $110 more but to save 250g....I've done pulled the trigger on the G3. Dirk and Kingtech also say it has the new ECU. I'm not sure what the difference is between the G2 and G3 concerning the ECU...yet.
CMJets is building my 1.3L tank and I'll have Peter from Baja do my pipe. Cannot wait.
