A P120 is the perfect size for a KIngCat.
My first and second KC's were powered by a P120, and were fast, but a larger engine will give you the vertical performance you probably want. A P120 will top over 200 MPH coming out of a shallow dive.
My new one has a JetCat Titan, and will easily exceed the speed limit by about 40 MPH.

I flew my old King Cat on a classic P-120 for 6 years and it was great. I'm setting up another one now with a 160 sized motor. The new K-160 is very tempting for the thrust, throttle response and lighter weight. I don't think you need the extra power of the 180 sized motors.

BV told me that he has no plans to offer the High-Viz orange and silver scheme on the KC.

No, I don't know what's in stock right now.
I will check with Patty no later than Monday the 29rth of Feb. and let you know.
I had a blue and yellow one, and besides being good looking, it was very easy to see in the air.

I think the Kingcat is actually a hard sport jet to top! I am hard pressed to name another jet that is as big as the KC, yet breaks down as small, & can match the flight envelope. It may be a few years old, but I think it can hang with the best of them, & fit in your compact car. I'm in the middle of refurbishing my Hi Vis, but I went with the Fly Navy re-paint. I think it will be more visible.

Well it looks like this thread may have sprouted some legs again. My next question is landing gear. Could other gear like Pro-Link or Behotec trailering struts be used as well? The latter seems to be used just about on everything else i.e. Carf and Boomerang just looking at options.

Sorry it took me so long to reply, but I saw Patty today, and she tells me that they only have the yellow, black and red color scheme in stock right now.
The scheme is number is K6800-005. A picture of it can be seen here: http://www.bvmjets.com/Pages/kits/kingcat.htm#CS
