Kingtech K-170

Hi,
So after nearly three months of no-fly due to work, I dusted off my Y/A F-15 and massaged the 1/2" deep flat spots (from sitting so long) out of the foam tires. I went out to the field and gassed her up. Voila! She started right up and was all in-the-green without the slightest hesitation. Two perfect flights followed by greasy nose-up landings, then off to a fishing boat to snag some Dorado. Who could ask for more?
The engine is dialed down to about 28#, but even with that it's mostly a half-throttle bird except for when going straight up. This engine is awesome.

I have a 170 kero start and love it already, after only 2 minutes on the 1st bench check startup/run-up.
It was in fact my 1st kero-start start, WOW! TOO COOL! MAX ADRENALIN RUSH!!!!!
I could tell a big difference from my old titan. Kingtech is the best bang for your buck by far!- IMHO.
Yea, I said the same thing in another thread. I can't quit bragging about it.
It has been almost 2 years since I bought mine and I worried about problems,. I also did a no-no and put it in the plane before bench running it. It was however an absolutely flawless start and run-up! Bravo Kingtech!
