Kingtech K140 (question to owners)
Dear owners of Kingtech K140 (F or G),
I have been thinking about to upgrade the turbine of my Boomerang Elan from my current 22Lb thrust turbine to something around 27~31 Lb thrust. I am seriously considering the Kingtech 140 but I would like to heard from you about two aspects: - Fuel consumption: does somebody else have any fuel consumption data other than those ones announced by KT? - Reliability: what is the K140 reliability in terms of turbine flameout (for reference my current 22Lb thrust turbine is simply 100% reliable. I have around 150 flights (perhaps 170~180 starts) and I have no flameouts in my backlog. I fly in an environmental with low humidity and medium to high temperatures (ranging from 7°C in the winter and 40°C in the summer).
Regards
