Default RE: Anyone ever put an Olympus on a Kingcat?

John Redman had a P200 on his years ago and I had an AT400 on mine. same size as the olympus.

you know the old saying....once you go BIG you never want to go back. idle thrust is no brainer if you keep a positive aoa on the landing approach and use crow braking. it'll be heavier overall and will penetrate the wind better on landing....less floating overall.

i would typically land with a full Mueller Center tank. it fits between the two main tanks and most guys used that as a smoke system. use it as your hopper tank prior to the UAT and land with it mostly full and you'll find it flies / lands better than the lighter configurations (P120/P160 etc)

my .02

cheers
