Default RE: P200 on a KingCat

IMO, the P-160 on my KC, or Scott's previous engine, the BMT 120/160, or Kramer's or Grice's AT-400 are all a perfect match,
iwould rathert use a P160 any day, but JetCat does not carry these currently and wont for some time .. in fact, those engines mighr even get pulled untill the engineers in Germany redesign them, ... as for me, no a p120 is not wnough , so, the p200 is the next thing up. This is my 8 th JetCat turbine, and i intend to stick with that brand ... I thought of the AT400 when the P200s availability seemed delayed, but that engine is actually heavier than the P200 as per web site posted specs .... I do not wish to look at other brans ....


as for flying at non AMA fields or no, what is so against the rules from using a P200 on a 27lbs plane ?? I clearly stated that i will have a speed limited and will be going no more than 210 ..... are you telling me you are causing the hell over 10mph ??? grow up ! as goes for the heavier weight, if you have a p120 in your KC, and devide to use a clear cockpit and deck kit with a pilot .. guess what !! you will need to add a P200s equivelant of weight to the rear end anyway !!! as for residual thrust, i can deal with it .. its my problem and not yours !! One of the guys I spoke to that has a p200 on his KC says its absolutely "awesome" and flies great ! the same was told to me by product reps and distributors ... (im not naming peopl because i dont want to be dragging others into this mess you people have made of this thread .. ) I have another p200 also on order for a plane that actually "needs" it , but i intend to be going over 200mph with that one also ! [>:] ( again for all you savants ! AT NON AMA CONTROLLED SITES )


stop your crying and your moaning !! you people complain about the AMA's regulations all the time, but when someone does not to have to follow them, and does not follow them , outside of the AMA juristiction you complain about that too ... what gives ?? plus , this 200mph thing has no safety significance anyway !! its a number made up out of nonsese and geriatric stupidity !


when i am going over 200, it by what ? 10 - 20 mph ? if even ??? 200 is in fact very fast ... and for how long ? 2 seconds ? 3 ? befor i have to pull up, and immediately loose speed ?


I will be showing up at a couple of jet rallies this year (and yes, i will have a waiver ! so dont start that crap) , so if you want , stand there with a speed limiter, and see if i break any reles then, thats when it will matter ... or should i now be afraid of some of you bitter old fart of shooting me down when im flying ???


going back to my original point, if i am insured, licensed and regitered to drive in a state with a 55mph speed limit, does this mean i can not go 75 in another state which permits that speed limit ?

I spoke to my lawyer/friend about this issue today (this is a guy i use to deal with some of my large clients, some of whom are in the fortune 1000 range, and he is as good as it gets ... ) The way federal and state laws are written, an agency like the AMA can not enforce you from following their rules when not under their juristiction (sch as a chartered field or sanctioned event), doing so would be violating privacy and civil rights regulations !! if i violate the regs (again, at a non AMA site) and the AMA pulls my membership this is ILLEGAL !! doing so would b preventing me from using facilities which are very often funded by my tax $$ which i am legally entitled to use (such as a flying field on state/county land) the ama pulling my membership would cause me not to be abole to fly a 40 sized prop job at the local county operated field ... guess what, if i filed a complit to the county, they do not care if i did not violate the rules under AMA juristiction ... this could even lead to a state or county to have to shut a field doen to avoid paying out in a dicrimination case ...

Also, for your information, i have been threatened via 2 anonymous emails that some of you readers of this thread are going to report me to the AMA for "dangerous and wreckless behavior" purely based on this thread !!! One of the email addresses has been traced to AOL and a report has been filed. otherwise, if the AMA were to report any complints to me, they are under the legal obligation to release the identities of the complaintants if suppenad !! If anyone makes any false acusations or reports , im tellin you now, you will be sorry !! as i will drag this through the mud just for the hell of it !! i have the money, and time to do it, and am agravated enough !! Dont threaten me based on false facts and your geriatric assumptions !
