OOOHHH MAN!!!
Hey Eric, What't the diameter?

PS... Is it kero-start?

Eric told me at FJ that it's propane start. The plug is inside the cover.

Mark:

Will post all details in the very near future. The display turbine is already on it's way back to the production facility. I will have complete specifications, pre-production sale sheets and the turbine at Toledo. Look for us there.

How does one go about preordering the rabbit. How long is the wait going to be seeing as though there are (were a few days ago) already 41 people. thanks

Rich

Eric, here are some Pics for the guys

Rich

Hey Rich,
I know you drooled all over it so how does the size compare to a SS?

Hey Mark

Eric had to wipe up all of my beer drool.
It looked like it was smaller in diameter than a P70.
I forgot I had a photo from when one of the Tam guys took the engine and held it above the P-60 that was installed in the Tam EDF F-16

its shiny

will that jetcentral smoke system on the pic next to the rabbit turbine be available at the same time ? Or is it available already ? I havent seen any info about it anywhere.

Smoke system is available now. We sold out at Florida jets. Price is $195.00 complete. Shipping UPS to lwr 48 and USPS to Canada and other areas.
We should have Smoke systems available at Toledo. Thanks for the inquiry.

Eric any update on the release of this?

Sweatpea01:

Release of the Rabbit is on schedule with the first run of twenty five already spoken for. Since we do not take deposits on pre-order, each person ordering will be called, confirmed and their CC processed. Should they pass, this opens up a slot for the next in line. I suggest to all interested customers, you email me @ [email protected] and make your intentions known.

Second production run of Rabbits is on the schedule for release toward the end of August / early September. I will post the exact (as close as I can) date the second production run will ship. Thanks for your interest and selecting Jet Central Micro Turbines as your turbine of choice.

Thanks for the info.

Hey Eric, if you get a chance look at page 57 of the June / July issue of RC Jets International, they used my photo of the Rabbit from FL Jets
I have been published internationally

Hey Rich:
. . .Great photo and good press. . .Jet Central thanks you. Next time we are together, you can reach into the magic hat and pull out a number to see what prize you won !

Cheers,
Eric

Cool[8D][8D][8D] I hope it is a good one

Is the first batch in country yet?

Rabbit shipments do not begin until the third week in June. There will be no inventory "in Country" as you state in your question. Simple reason is there will not be any OH (on hand ) inventory until all pre-orders are filled.

If you attend Winamac, you will see the Rabbit first hand. Miss it there, then see it at Jets over Kentucky. Miss it there and you will see it at Liberty Bell Jet Rally. Miss it there. . . .

Gotcha...........Sorry to say I'll most likely miss it at all those places.


No problem though......it gets here when it gets here

Hello Eric,
My Name is Dirk an i am a "Rookie" from Germany.
Just one Question How would you feel with a JC RABBIT installed in a Comp ARF Flash?
Thanks for your reply.

Regards

Dirk

Dirk:

I have flown my personal Flash with the Falcon - 23lb and the Super Eagle - 30lb. Flash has been flown with 18lb thrust turbines.

Rabbit is producing 20lb thrust. Will be very good as a power plant. Total all up weight with both tanks and the Rabbit should come in at 26lb with fuel.

For unlimited vertical, I would go with the Super Eagle and then reduce max RPM to 124,000. This is what I feel to be the perfect set up. With both tanks, you will experience 10 minute flights with no worries.

Thanks for the question.

Eric,
Will you guys be attending jetpower in germany? I will be there and would like to know if there will be engines there for sale. I will probably like a rhino and a rabbit.
