Default Has anyone installed a K100G in a BVM Bandit?

Curious if anyone has installed a k100 in a bvm bandit without too much trouble. I am deciding between a 100RX and K100, but I know the JC 100rx goes right in and is easy to install. If anyone has any photos of a k100 installation, could you please post some pics and explain any difficulties in mounting and installing the k100? Thanks

Haven't installed it (K100G) yet but will be soon, hopefully! Seems to be pretty straight forward

I have a K100G in mine. No issues with the installation.
I can post some pics tomorrow.

Here are a few pics.
The pump is on it's own tray underneath the hopper tank so you can't see it.
The ECU is on the tray next to the nose wheel when retracted. You can see it peaking out under the data analyzer.
The ECU battery sits on top of the hopper tank.
Install is simple with the integrated valves.

Hey Sean - Thanks so much for the pics...looks just as easy as the JetCat! How much time are you getting with the K100?

Very nice install by the way...

Thanks. I usually start thinking about landing around 7 mins, and that takes me to about 8 mins total time. Even with the tanks on its very clean airframe and the works out nice for fuel economy.
