New Kingtech models K45 and turboprop coming in April?
Just found a few hits today on the kerostart.com forums, and also on the Kingtech Luxembourg site. No details on size or weight yet, but promising.
Barry or Dirk and comments on this?

Does anyone know the approximate specs of the K45? It looks to be in Wren 44 Gold territory so it will be interesting to see how it compares in terms of size, weight and fuel economy.

Anything over $3,000 is too much imho. I've always been really, really impressed with Boli Muentes' Turboprop Tucano, the one he flies upside down so much. What motor does he use in that? Never mind - just found out he uses an SPT-10 which puts out 10KWatts.

Hehe, I always try to mate the proper engine to a proper airframe to get the best envelope. In my mind the 90mm planes are better off a little lighter. Looking at my engine comparsion chart you see the Wren 44 has a huge starter making it fit further back in the airframe, the shorter Kingtech has an advantage here. Just one way to find out :-)

As Far as I know you are not allowed to sell in GErmany. Id like BArry to chime in and say what is the policy of Kingtech eventually.
We all know that in Europe everybody is allowed to buy their stuff from anywhere. it's their Right. Kingtech still has a policy of exclusive distributors. So if a Turbine is sold by a Luxembourg company for example to a customer Germany the Luxembourg distributor should receive a Fine of 500 USD and has his account suspended.
That's what happened to a German Friend of mine and Barry also suspended his guarantee and service support.
And I also don't understand why he has the right to declare ANYONE that he cannot start a turbine.. like trim up stick up and stick down is rocket science. -_-
Comon Mr. BArry Lou. Please answer the question. And what happens if someone travels to another country.. buys a turbine there and goes back to his country and registers it?
EDIT: and since someone has Exclusive distribution he can sellt o local hobbys stores to resell right? somebody explain to the Violin guy how things work in Europe. if this is not accepted why is anybody advertising for E-commerce sales?
