This is all that I can find, 65,5mm diam. 160mm length Kerostarter, valves and Fod integrated, price around $1500 AUD
, No thrust figures, but 30 newton is approximately 7 lbs thrust.
The JetCat P20 is, by comparison,
  • Thrust: Thrust 5.25 lbs ( 2,4 Kg)@ 245,000 RPM
  • Weight: 13 oz. (362 gram)
  • Diameter: 2.4 inches ( 60 mm)
  • Length: 7 inches (180 mm)
  • Exhaust gas temp.: 580°C-690°C
  • Fuel consumption: 3.5oz/min at full power ( 90 ml)
  • Fuel: Jet A1, 1-K kerosene
  • Lubrication: approximately 5% synthetic turbine oil in the fuel
  • Maintenance interval: 25

Diesel is not an approved fuel?

I fired up my K30 tonight and i’m Having some issues. I think it’s the ECU. I keep getting these weird messages in the status of window of the GSU, e.g. WAITCONN, CAB-LOST? When I get these messages the turbine starter motor will turn when I advance the stick to full throttle but the start sequence never starts. I tried relearning the ECU numerous times, I tried changing patch cable between the receiver and the ECU, no luck. Any ideas? I’m using a Jeti radio, no problems on my other turbines.

Thanks for the help. -Tom

Got everything sorted with the Turbine, sent an email to Dirk who told me this is a gen 3 ECU and you have to plug the turbine battery in before you turn on the radio. You also have plug in the turbine battery when doing the learn process. The gen 3 ECU also runs the starter motor continuously until the EGT is below 100c rather than cycling like previous versions.

I ran it up today after relearning with the turbine battery connected, working perfectly now, idle is stable at 94k.
