Red face Turbine Choice For Ultra Bandit.

Hello Guys, I have a questions for all you experts.

I have a BVM Ultra bandit which is heavy and I am in the process of making it lighter.

Power choice I have had a P200sx in the model but was thinking of a Behotec 220 a little less power but 870 grams less than the P200.

What are your thoughts.

Incredible engine, I just bought two and have wintessed these engines in flight. It pushes the tomahawk hawk easily, actually too much power for scale flying but perfect for a sport jet. You will not be dissapointed, the quality is amazing and efficiency just as good. No need to carry around 6+L. For me the plus is having a dealer 30 minutes away .

Bigger is better. P200 is minimum.

I'm going with JetCat NEW P200RX...... If you can wait there will be a new P220 early 2014... the P220 will be smaller in diameter to the P200, but I would like a few tests on the P220 before I put it in my New Ultra Bandit.. I will go with the sure proven reliable P200 and now in the RX format...

But guys what I was asking is the small loss in thrust worth the 870 gram reduction in weight?

My experience is the lighter the jet the better it flies and "Lands".. Keep your jets as light as possible....

I'd love to have an Oly. I was able to play with an airstart Oly back in the day in my Century Jets F4 (about skymaster sized) talk about unlimited vertical!
