Tar Baby..

...500, 2380, MBJII are all something like 97% the same, its only the manufacturers base oil addative package that diferentiates them slightly.....by the time we've diluted them down further...well, the difference is'nt even worth typing about... Personally, having spent several years in the oil reaserch buisiness i wouldnt really use the Steam Turbine or 2 stroke oils which have totally different lubrication properties completley...just my threepennybits worf...

Well, maybe his IS putting out 14 pounds, I dunno! Test it! Have NOT measured my own.
I do remember Sean running yours and saying "it runs like a little engine should!" Starts and runs, but was it putting out the stated thrust...or even CLOSE to it? Big difference, depending on what plane you have.

Paul you might not care, but I sure as hell do... Try pushing an 18lb plane with a 9lb turbine when its supposed to do 14lb. The results arnt very pretty no matter how you look at it. Hook us up with picture of this plane your putting it in. I'd love to see what goes 311kph on 5lbs of thrust.

This side of the big pond using aviation turbine oil is not recommended by GTBA and BMFA because of the health risks and accumulated effects.

Turbine Oils containing Organophosphates

Special oils, designed for full size gas turbine operation, may contain hazardous chemicals such as organophosphates. Given suitable precautions to avoid skin contact and the breathing of vapours these oils can be used safely. However non-toxic alternatives such as TCW-3 two stroke oil are available and have been used successfully in model gas turbines. Many operators may prefer to use these oils because of their environmentally friendlier properties. If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of these oils for you particular engine you are advised to consult the designer or manufacturer.
__________________________________________________ ________________

What do I know? only that full size crew avoid ALL direct skin contact and never stand down wind (this is also more to do turbine bits coming loose). If you read the COSH notes for the turbine oil "Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations" - COSSH... then it is pretty clear don't put the children, pets or fish ponds down wind. I think the organophosphates mentioned was a useful substance within Suddams Weapons?? Lastly its just a good reason why less oil or TCW3 is better all round.
