On the JMP website the recommended range for turbines goes from 18 to 40 lbs..so I'm trying to get 'real world' feedback
Thx,

The question I asked myself was what is the appropriate flying I want to do? With no 200mph restriction here the answer was easy. 60lbs of thrust is what was appropriate. With today's new tech turbines, yeah a lower weight would be nice but the jet handles the weight of the Olympus no problem and outside of my lips ecu pack failing in flight I have never had an amt flame out and that reliability is why to this day I still fly amt.
