Default RE: Rabbit Kerostart

Yes. The kero-start conversion is simply a plumbing change along with a software change in the ECU. The Rabbit that ships with kero-start also got a new diffuser and burner can that make the already quick spool-time even faster yet. I received my new Rabbit less than two weeks before the kero-start version was announced. Bummer, 'cause now I'll have to wait til the 25hr service to have it upgraded. Wish Eric had told me to wait. Check with Eric for the price of the upgrade. Waiting til the 25hr service will save you some labor cost, since the service involves a complete teardown of the turbine anyway. Actually, I don't mind propane start a bit, I just want the upgrade for the faster spool-up. Either way, the Rabbit is one helluva good little turbine and I can't wait to buy another.
