Default First Turbine Advise

I'm having a hard time deciding what turbine to purchase. I bought a Shulman Turbinator as my first jet, and I can't decide what to put in it. I like the thrust of the K-100, but I like the spool up time of the VT-80. A P-100 is slightly over my price limit at this time. So I'm down to the VT-80 or the K-100. Does the K-100 spool up as fast as the Jets Munt? It's hard to tell by the videos I've seen.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm in the same situation, I narrowed to the K-100 for the Turbinator and future projects, Berry will give you the best service found out there.

Safe flights.

You cannot go wrong with Kingtech, they are work horses, run diesel well, and priced great. To top that Barry is great to deal with and he normally attends all the big jet events across the country. Plus! the in state service now with another great guy Dirk is a real piece of mind for me. He took the time at KY jets to help me look for something that had nothing todo with Kingtech products, stand up guy for sure!

K-100 is nice but man... that VT80 that is a ton of power for a tiny engine, if you are going to get it, a great match for the VT80 is the JTM XXX

For Tornados or boomerangs just get it form Henry at Modelbau he will give you the tornado kit free with the purchase of the KT100
