I'm currently re-engineing a BVM Sabre with a propane start P-60.

The P-60 was supplied with a 2500 mAh 2S lipo with long/huge leads but
how much capacity & amps are REALLY needed for a P-60.

Is the standard battery, which I have, a matter of 'one size fits all', for
every Jetcat engine all the way up to a kero start P-200?

My Wren SS now uses a 1450 mAh 2S lipo & can comfortably do at least
3 starts/flights. Could I expect the same from my P-60 or does the Jetcat
system use a lot more battery capacity per flight?

Anyone who has fitted a turbine to the smaller BVM Sabre will know why I
want to use a smaller battery! - John.

uses about 300mah/run including cooling cycle with gas start.

Thanks KC, exactly what I needed to know!

Should get my usual 3 flights with a little in reserve. My ECU battery powers the two retract
servos as well but the current draw is peanuts when down & locked or retracted. - John.

I HAVE HAD 6 FLIGHTS EASY ON ONE CHARGED LI-PO-2400 M.A.H

Thanks as well, Agent.

I've mounted all the other equipment but was waiting as long as possible before
deciding where the batteries would go. - John.

To keep weight down on my AMD Hawk I used 1000ma 2cell lipo on my P60.
My P60 boomerang still has the old std jetcat supplied 1250ma Nicad pack, Normal use per 6min flight is 300ma.

You really only need a 2000+ if using kero start

I used a 3cell A123 2300mah pack in mine, the jet needs some nose weight anyway. The P-60 is a good motor for that jet, mine flew awesome with it.
