Default Jetcat P80 Night Start and Runup Video

Ever started and run up your turbine at night? If not, it might surprise you! I finally got around to videotaping it in HD. I used a Canon G10 which has pretty good low light capability. Here's the 1 minute video. Best viewed full screen.

I don't think we've met. Abington is in the Philadelphia area, a good distance from Wilkes Barre. I usually fly my old vintage Hotspot at Farview Flyers in Hamburg, Pa.

It would be interesting to see simultaneous RPM readings as well as the rear of the engine.
