Default I'm going to buy my second Jet Cat

If you want reliable and easy buy a Jet Cat. I have owned and flown a Jet Cat P-80 turbine for two years now, and I have yet to have it do anything but start and run perfectly! I did have to replace the Glow Plug when it started popping on the first start attempt of the day. This started happening after about 7 hours of run time. The ECU would re-sequence for a perfect start the second time and then run normally. I thought this problem might be the Propane/butane percentage setting or something like that, but all it took to make it start smoothly every time the first time was a new plug. It is almost scary how well it runs, this motor, by far is the best of motor on any model I have ever owned. And I've been flying powered models since 1960.

My second Jet Cat is going to be a P-120, it's going on my Bob Cat and I will use the speed controller system to keep my airspeeds within published limits. The takeoffs and vertical's should be impressive with the extra push ----------
