Default Will a Rabbit Fly?

Yes, very well. Just installed the new Jet Central Rabbit in my new Bobcat and it operates very nicely. I only put an initial three flights on it today, but here's what I have deduced so far....

1) Weighs in at exactly 2.5 pounds
2) Fuel consumption in an average bobcat flight was around 7 ounces per minute. Most of the flight was spent at less than full throttle, as the engine moves the Bobcat at a pretty good clip.
3) Internal glow plug works fine.
4) We timed acceleration with a stopwatch ... idle (40k) to full throttle (152k) in just a hair less than 3 seconds.

The Bobcat is a custom job BVM did for several of us. Looks great in the air.. extremely visible. A great flying plane.
