Anders,
I'm sure you produce a fine engine, but dude, 26 minutes at idle thrust, who the heck cares! My P-120SE is at idle during two times when flying my Flash, during taxi out for take off, and during taxi back after landing. You may fly your Flash at 0-70% the majority of the time, but with mine, I'm at 60-100% a majority of the time and if you look at the fuel figures YOU provide, at those thrust levels, you're WELL BELOW the 100% better fuel economy than any other engine you compare to (much less the newer P-120SE) that you claimed in your first post.
Again, I'm sure that your turbine is a fine piece of machinery, but originally I thought that your math was suspect and now I'm suspect about more than that... Personally, I think you should advertize your turbine somewhere else and leave this discussion for the pocket-rocket Comp-ARF Flash that the original poster asked about... YMMV...

I care, you are missing the point. I do not use idle when flying either, its normal.
Why dont you wait for the figures in RCJI.
You have a good engine. Just fly it with the fuselage fuel cell like we do.... No need for arguing here. Should be no problem if you are right.
Let me know how long you can fly on the fuel in the fuselage.
Regards
Anders
