Flying this weekend at the Houston Jet Rally, I noticed a REMARKABLE difference between these turbines. I used to fly pattern and can perform a decent Cuban Eight that has standard heights and radii. When flying the Kingtech, I noticed that I need to go back to full power on the downline before I even start the roll and it doesn’t come up to full throttle until I’m actually going straight up on second half of the maneuver. With the JetCat, I can actually go to full power at the bottom while starting the second half loop. That’s a very notable difference for you non aerobatic guys. I’m sorry for describing it this way but it’s where I could really standardize the difference in actual flying conditions instead of a stopwatch. I’m going to start looking at YouTube videos on how to adjust the parameter with the new GSU video screen. Like I said earlier, I’m at sea level this weekend and live in Lubbock, TX at 3300 ft if that makes any difference. Thanks for your advice.
Your first step should be to call Dirk and go through your parameters. Sounds like it has been changed from stock.
