Oli,
A 30% increase in idle thrust causing a 30% increase in landing speed is some of the most egregious disinformation I have seen posted here in a long time,and I'm surprised you posted it.
Jay covered the basics of it above,but beyond that,the airframe type is also an important consideration. A clean sport jet will be much more affected by higher idle thrust than an F-4 or F-18 ,that is flown down the final with power,at higher AOA's.
As as to the OP,I am on my third Kingtech engine. I currently own 2 180G's,and have been extremely happy with the quality,support,and value of them. Bottom line,it's nice to have a choice between 3 quality engines. Good luck,
Erik
OTE=olnico;11691294]What about
:
Idle thrust increased by 30%
Engine weight increased by 40%
Fuel consumption increased by 20%
I'm not a really big fan of up sizing just for the sake of it. Never loose the prospect that you'll have to land your model at some point. Coming in the flare 30% faster is a good recipe for bounced landing, high energy impact and premature airframe/ gear wear.
I'm sure you've seen that in your flight carrier before...
