I am looking for people who may have switched from other brands that can give me some feedback on long term operations and reliability. Thanks

I have two p-120se's and one K140f. Once the 140 is primed right you will have no trouble with that engine.Unfortunenately the instructions are not specefic on how to do that.
If you want more E-mail me.

have you noticed any more or less flameouts with it?

hey fender,

i do have a ram in my pst but i am very please with my kingtech k170's in the mig. price is great for the power. these babies push my mig around with no problems. i have not had any flames out so far. i only have 6 flights on the mig so far but i'm planning on putting 4 or 5 flights this weekend.
Barry and dirk are great and help with all and any issues!

Thanks Wap, how about some flight videos of that thing I put number 20 on this past weekend.

we are bringing the good camera out this weekend hopefully get some great footage!

Fender,

You saw my K170-F start first time, every time and fly firsthand this past Saturday. only flame out it's had was on the last flight when taxing back in but it was from lack of fuel in the tanks form keeping that left stick in the FUN position too long!!!

Iv been running the k170 for well over a year now. Never any issues or flame outs at all.
Iv flown all the other brands as well and the power and throttle response in superb.

I know, but thats your first Kingtech and only have a few flights on yours im just doing my homework asking around for long term info is all. Nobody is giving me one

Fender, i have a k80 for 2 years 1/2 now, with over 100 flight. Never had a problem, no flame out, it is fuel and fly.

Mike

I never had a flaemout in over 70 flights. I use K-1 with aeroshell 500, the winter and the snow shut me down.If price is everything the Kingtech will more than fill the bill.If price is not that big ofa deal, buy TWO of them.

Thanks for the info everyone, seems like a solid product.

Fender

I Have A K-80 that is 2-1/2 years old with about 12 hours on. Still solid as a rock. Kingtech engines are for real and they are here to stay.

Barry and Dirk of www.kingtechusa.com are also able to service the engines here in the U.S. if you would need it. They are very helpful with any and all questions when you contact them.

Here is video of the first flight in my F-85.

The engine is in the same jet still.

I also have a K-140 that is 1 year old in a F-15 and all I can say is the power of the engine is great.

Here is the video of the first flight on my K-140

I am very pleased with these to engines.

Owner

Including the guys that run kingtech turbines here in Greece ,..12 if i recall corect,that report no promblem at all.
No engine has been shiped back yet, exept two that owners requested to be changed to "F" kyro start.

...now with a lifetime warranty and suport in this forum from Barry ... you cant go wrong


my 2c

My thoughts on flameout is mostly cause by the owner fuel system setup. (minus RPM sensor and fuel pump) I hope Dreamworks takes on full service of Kingtec engine.

My opinion

I have three Kingtech's and they run great. I also continue to run Jetcat RTI and AMT with great success. I just like that we have another option that is working and the price is awesome.

I thought Todd was a "Full Service" Kingtech dealer.


Bob

Didn't know that. Thx

Priming the main fuel line and the burner line is simple. You lower the trim to stop position then cycle through the second menu labelled 'info'. The valaves will automatically open to prime the lines.

John

We are a full service Kingtech Dealer with repair parts in stock.

This a plus since its my favorite website lol

Todd,

That's what I thought!

It's good to know I haven't completely "Lost it"

Bob

I know dreamwrks sells kingtech turbines but didnt know if he service them (REPLACE PARTS AND RE BALANCE) Im planning on buying another K170 soon but don't like this http://kingtechusa.net [8D]
