Maybe I did but they are there for you to check and the results were derived from figures given on the FTE website ! Do the maths. yourself !

As a matter of interest Tom Wilkinson 's independant and impartial review of the SimJet 1200 (RCJI P 18-21) shows that at 12 pounds of thrust the engine consumed 1 liter of fuel in 4.9 minutes or 205 ml per minute, 14% greater than the manufacturers claim as given above ! At 160k RPM the graph shows 222 ml per minute i. e. 1 liter in 4.5 mins. which is 25 % more than the 180ml figure.

These are not my calculations, merely figures extracted from Tom's graph.
