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.
yeah that does sound a little slow. my G1 isn't the fastest spooler either but a bit faster than what your describing. please keep us posted
