I was hoping for 45lb to 50lb for 1/5.5 f16. Need to rethink next jet

RE: Kingtech K-180
If its the same weight and size as the K170 they should drop it for the 180. It wouldn't be very logical to carry both since they are so close in thrust range. I to like others was hoping for a 45 lb. Guess that won't happen this season.

RE: Kingtech K-180
Thank you Basil!
Like I told Basil, the 180 does have the same combustion chamber and injectors as well as the peak RPM as the 170, but that's where the similarity ends, the entire set of aerodynamic components is different, from compressor wheel down to the exhaust nozzle. The 180 will enjoy better fuel efficiency as well.

RE: Kingtech K-180
Looking forward to getting my 180G, kero start. I had the 170 briefly never got to run it and soon as I heard about the 180, I sent it back in for a swap. The 180G is still a little while away but I'm sure it will be great for the skymaster large hawk.
Is the thrust 39 or 40.5?

any possible way the 170s can be converted?

That's my fault 
If you look carefully my temp probe was not screwed down and was too far inside the cone, What amaze me was at full power the tail cone barely glow red

WOW! 780C EGT. Seems high to me.
