Guys, it could be that the combustion chamber is so much pushed to the limit that it is prone to flameouts during acceleration.
In that case, the only wy to stabilize the cycle is to slow down the acceleration.
It could be that the issue that delayed the 100RX production is also the same.
Only time will tell.
Then that would seem to be the worst replacement of a fast throttling P160SX there could be. What were they thinking?!!! [

Well not automatically. Throttle response is not everything and we used to be quite happy with the first P-80 and P-120.
These engines have a legendary reliability...
Oliver,
OK, I appreciate that but when a manufacturer launches a new product to replace the previous version I'm sure you wouldn't expect it to take you back a decade in terms of performance. There is no point in doing this for 3.5lbs extra thrust. I'd have stuck with my 160SXs had I known. Bit misleading to use marketing such as "The engine follows throttle commands almost without delay" etc especially when they knew all along it would be very slow.
Rgds,
Mark
