Default RE: How much thrust can a Kingcat take?

Hello

My friend Zenon was the first to put a P-200 in the KingCat a few years ago ( there is a picture of him in BVMs website ). Bob Violet advised him against it back then but he proceeded anyway. He had carbon mounting plates for the turbine specially made for him. There were no problems at all and he never used crow braking for landing. It came in just like any other KingCat. He used to fly flat out all the time. Eventually he sold it on and the new user damaged it on a bad landing some time later.

You can see the picture here http://www.bvmjets.com/Pages/kingcat_hs.htm he is the third customer below the AMT KingCat picture.
