ORIGINAL: PaulD

I would be really curious to see what the installed weight is. This engine compares to the new Merlin 140 or J-C Cheeta in terms of performance so the weight factor would be an interesting comparsion.

Sure looks good on the bench.[8D]

I was thinking the exact same thing Paul. Todd would you be able to confirm the true fuel consumption at WOT and the installed weight (including all gear) of this turbine? I was angling towards the cheetah but honestly if the fuel really is 11oz at WOT (or is that the average draw which I bet it is) then this could be a winner. Plus it's 500 bucks less than the cheetah.
