I have a King Tech 120 in mine. Plenty of power and mostly fly around 50-60% power. I own a few King Tech turbines, and to me, the 120 seems a little slower on spool up and down time. I've heard this from others, but don't know if it's inherent to the 120 or not. Just good throttle management and its a fun plane to fly.

One thing I really like about my jets munt 100xbl is the fast throttle response, is your 120 the latest version ?

I believe the turbine is the same but on the previous ECU Version than current one. I have a K210 as well and really like that one. I think the Jets munt is the turbine I'd probably go with \if again. I've heard a lot of good on them..

So no concerns with a 100 for power ?

Mine is about ready to maiden, just on the c of g whats the recommendation these days ? 25mm back from the tube ? is that with uat full and landing fuel in the tank ? mine needs a fair bit of nose weight to achieve that with a 100xbl fitted, so not a heavy turbine

Anyone looking to get rid of their futura? I was about to order a new one, but there is a pretty long wait as of now and prefer to get something in the air quickly if possible. Such a gorgeous plane!
