Default RE: PST contact?

Hi,

Just to fill in on fuel consumption. The J600R will burn about 250ml/min at 163,000 rpm and substantially reduced to below 200ml/min at 155,000 rpm. I fly for 8 minutes with reserve for 2 go-around on 2 liters fuel tank.

Kelly is correct that the internal gas canister is designed for 1-2 starts only. PST canister is machined from solid aluminium for maximium strength against rupture in case of a crash. If you want the canister to hold more gas, just make sure that the internal canister is substantially colder than the filling tank.

Regards,
Kraivuth S.
