Default RE: The new Tornado sport jet

Why don't you sell the p80 and buy your self a k100. More power less weight much faster spool up time warranty etc.
The Merlin series mike mentioned are also excellent but a bit more expensive than the kingtech.
You'll be much happier with the airframe as a whole with a k80/100.
The p80 will make it extremely tail heavy which you will counter with lots of nose weight which will
significantly increase wing loading. Then you'll have to deal with additional stress on the Airframe and gear from all
the increased weight, and reduced flight time from the increased fuel burn.
I understand the budget part most all of us have been there.
But if its a matter of holding off a few months to fly and get a better suited engine...i would personally wait.
Besides why come on here asking opinions of the p60 vs k80
to just say the p80 is all you have and that will be the engine you use????
