Thanks for all the comments, to answer a few of the questions posed tome here are the answers.

1. I want the smaller turbine so I can install it in a small jet. Yes you can tune down a JetCat but it is still too large. The smaller turbines burn approx. 5 to 6 oz per minute and need less fuel, thus requring lsmaller fuel tanks. It would be nice to have a smaller model to just load in the back of my car instead of having to load my larger models in my truck requiring more time for breakdown and set up.

2. Your right JetCat does not make smaller turbines, that is a shame because I love their turbines. Yes you are right again, the more you reduce the size of the turbine the more problems you will have because the laws of physics apply. Fuel and air molecules don't reduce in size which is a problem when you reduce the size of the combustion chamber. However I believe with a very well built and tested along with proper electronics a 12lb thrust reliable turbine is possible. Just because JetCat or AMT (High Quality mfgs) choses not to produce them does not mean theat it is impossible. AMT is still all air start.


3. As to turbojet comments, you are right reps do use this forum to spread there information. I don't mind the reps adding their thoughts as long as they identify themselves as a rep. I was hoping for some of our European friends who have more experience with SimJet to comment. This is an open forum and if some would like to add to the dicourse I would be interested in their comments.

4. Yes I have attended some jet meets mostly small ones and I have not seen many of the SimJets yet that is why I am asking for input. I will make a purchase before I attend another one because with two kids a wife and work and school I do not have much time in my life to travel to these events.

Thanks
