Default RE: Kingtech K140E testing

the one reason i don't like the diesel is the smell out the exhaust, it's a very sickening smell to me, much worse then diesel truck exhaust.

the one local that Fender speaks of i did the initial flights on and it preformed great. the diesel here in Alabama isn't as refined as it is in the higher emissions regulated states (California...) and you get a slight smoke trail behind the turbine in flight, for those of us used to Jet A you'll think you've flamed out when you pull hard Gs and the smoke is more noticeable.

around here the cost difference is about $1.30/gallon
