5% oil ok for Rabbit?
hello, I'm new to Artes turbines and am interested in the Rabbit for my PST Panther.
I've read the manual and see that it runs 2.5% oil. My other turbine (purple) runs 5%. Can the Rabbit run 5% and still perform to spec?
Having to keep a different fuel mix on hand is definitely a deal breaker for me and I would choose one that I can run on the same mix. ie wren ss.
Kind regards,
Mike

RE: 5% oil ok for Rabbit?
From what I've read about Artes Jet Central turbines, the only one that would be affected performance wise by more oil is the Super Bee. All other models should run fine on 5%.
I have a NIB Falcon that I will run on 5% as I have other turbines that require this ratio and cannot afford more than one Jersey Modeler Fueling system
.
I'm sure Eric will chime in when he sees your post.

Thanks for the question. . .Responders are correct. Keith has absolutely no issues with running 5% oil in our Rabbit. As Meesh stated, only the Bee can act up with 5% oil as it may cause some difficulty with atomizing the fuel in the injectors. However, I being somewhat lazy use 5% mix ratio as well. Just overkill in the oil department!
