I'm flying not only jets but also all sort of planes, from small to big scale, electric powered (up to half scale), gazoline powered, or jets. My Jetcat P160SX is by far not the slower reactive engine that I fly ! Even my electric engine (AXI 5330) is less reactive on my half scale plane with it big propeller !

Even my Zenoah 62cc with tuned pipe and 22x10 propeller is less reactive than my JC 160SX for the slower throtlle response ! Thi splane is a tow plane so I have hundreds of landings with it ! I've fly for a try a big plane engined with a 150cc 3W engine and was astonished how poor was the response of the engine was compared to what I know.

So when I maindened my Futura I was very scared to what should be the turbine response during approach and landing, but finaly found it to be just as my well known gazoline engines ! Since that I've bench tested a P140Rx for a friend and my feeling is that it's an instant response turbine and that we don't need more ! We are even manualy regulating the movement on our stick just to ensure a minimum of realism and not to endure too much secondary effects !

Spool up time of any engine (electric, gazoline, jet) is one of the parameters a pilot have to work with. Speedy engines are simpler to fly maybe, but that should not let you not anticipating your flight and actions...

I'm currently looking to replace my P160SX for a P180RX in my futura, I need the P160 for a scale project... I'm sure Jetcat will produce very soon a perfect engine, as usual for Jetcat.
