well i herd that the flea (Pulga) was not going to make into production
It's news to me, I've not been told anything along those lines by the factory.
I have just been playing with the video camera and editing software while out check running a bunch of engines

What surprised me about the Super Bee was the low residual thrust at idle for this size of engine and the absence of any compressor 'whistle' noises. Usually I have found very small engines to have still quite high idle thrust, even as much as 40%-50% of their max rating.
Rob.
Can you state specifics on your findings? What turbines and how much idle thrust do the ones you say have 40%-50% of their max rating? Wren? JectCat? Simjet? Make and models PLEASE!!!!!! After all you're a rep for some. I'd hate to see BS being thrown about...
