I am new in turbine, I decided to go with a PST 1300 / Comp. ARF Eurosport for my first turbine jet after chatting with the PST North American rep.-Kelly William in Vancouver, Canada. Kelly is a Engineer by profession, very knowledgeable iwith gas turbine models, he has been flying turbine since yr. 2000 & love shop talk..
My PST was obtained in July/2005 from Helijet R-C International , bench tested in Aug./2005 (It spool up at the first start & ran super smooth), The combination of PST 1300 with the 'New' Comp.ARF Eurosport was a perfect marriage. The Eurosport was assemblied without any problems at a record time of one month of spare time.(with the help of Kelly). The 27lb Eurosport was successfully maiden-ed in Oct./2005.
The PST ran perfectly throughout the 6 min. flight with plenty of reserve power on take off & cruised at 1/2 throttle. The fuel consumpsion of the 1300 seemed pretty good, less than half of the fuel was used on the whole flight.
I can hardly wait for the warm weather to come around so I can burn more fuel on the PST in the 2006 flying season.
