RE: BD-5J Project
Hello Ron:
Our Jet Central Rabbit 100 develops 22.5 lb thrust at 6000 feet. This is real thrust. The turbine weighs 2lb 3 oz. all up and averages 7 oz per minute. It is full auto kero start. The start takes about 40 seconds on the average.
This Rabbit 100 is delivered in ks start mode however, gas start is also programmed in the FADEC. Simple change over for those who wish to use gas as their choice for starting.
Side by side, the Rabbit is smaller than its competitors, generates more "real thrust" and is as user friendly as one could want. Reducing thrust takes less than a minute. A thrust / RPM chart is included in every manual. A thrust reduction to a suitable wide open throttle thrust for the BD-5 does not in any way affect any other operational parameter.
We will be offering a Show Special at Jets over Kentucky. . .you may purchase even if not in attendance.
Thanks for the question. . .
