Guys, there's no such thing as 'instant" in a turbine....several of the full scale turbines I've flown have a full 8-9 seconds from idle to 100%....it's all fadec (computer) controlled so we dont torch a $5 million motor....these models are really no different....you have fuel, fire, air and metal in the mix and they all have to play nice together or u get a meltdown and a big boom.... I hear guys say I have a 2 second spool up....a recip takes 2 seconds.....

now bring that "instant" spoolup turbine to 5,400 ' and 90 degrees F and it's even worse....
As far as "instant" I thought the same thing but did anyone else read the article where it stated "instantaneous" in it?

Don

Here ya go... POST #4 I believe. Read the description carefully. Supposed to be only a single 4mm line to the turbine? ECU Ver 6.3 also? What's up?
