Do yo have any plans on releasing a turbine that is going to be in the 150/160 class e.g. a 160G?

I'm looking for a dual turbine setup, was considering dual 180G on a Large FEJ F-18 but that would put out too much power, something in the 160 would be nice.

I love my 180G so it would have to slick like this setup, all internal solenoids / thermo couple kero start.

Here is my Jet:

http://flyeaglejet.com/en/F181.6.html

I was thinking about 2 180s but Fly Eagle said that would be too much power even with full missile set, the max the recommend is dual 160's toned down a bit to put out 35 lbs thrust for a max of 70lbs as the jet fuel of fuel is 70lbs.

Status: offline 		Curious, but why develop a150 AND a 160? Turn down the rpm's of the 160 a couple thousands and you have the same thrust as a 150. Why even bother with making two separate turbines? I don't get the logic of that.

Status: offline 		Hi Dan, it would take different components, ie. tail cone, wheels, however, the factory is concentrating on the 160 more so on the 150. Xairflyer, yes, G model is fuel start, sorry if our web info missed it.

Regards,
Barry

Status: offline 		Sorry probably never made my question clear enough, it was what is the difference from the G series turbines to previous?
My point was the website tells you nothing new in the description and didnt even mention that they were kero start.

Wonder is there plans for a K80G or K140G

Yes, that is correct, sorry we're soooooo behind working on the website, hope will soon catch up. And yes, K-140G has just been released and available, as with K-80G probably sooner or later.

Cheers,
Barry

Yes, same here. Considering the K-140 for a YA F-15, but need to know the thrust.

Gus

Thanks,
