First starts.

The new kero start runs extremely smooth. Much smoother than the previous one. The lightup is much more gradual and linear.
Current draw during start: max 15 A
Max normal start temp: 650°c

I did a wet start to check: abort start just at the beginning of the kero light-up.
On the previous version this would end up in a hot ( 850°c or more ) start.
On the SX I got a modest 700°c which proves that the initial kero flow is really minimal.

First run:
The acceleration is very fat, about as fast as the SE version. I did chronometer the acceleration between the two version but the difference is not big.
For me the SE version is already excellent.
The max thrust is impressive for two reason: the thrust generated and the noise.

The thrust is higher than any engine I've had so far ( I didn't check the G-booster 160 in this aircraft yet )
The noise is extremely high. It is obviously coming from the compressor. Even at idle I need some noise protection, where the P-120 SE is like a "whisper".
At full thrust it starts to shake my abdomen. Very impressive. Do not try it in your garden...

Max rpm: 125000
Max EGT: 745°c at 40°c OAT so as advertised...
Max Consumption: 560 ml/min...

Next stage: flight tests for next week-end...
