Jetcat P120 thrust level help needed
I am getting a older model ready to fly again. It has a 14 year old Jetcat P120 in it. I have the rpm set to 115000, and cannot find the graph that compares thrust levels to rpm. Does anybody know what thrust level I am getting at 115000?
Thanks

Paul,
The thrust figures listed by Vinny are for the latest versions of the P120's, mainly the SX version. If your engine is indeed 14 years old and has a serial number of under 1400 I would guess it will push around 24 - 25 pounds at full tilt unless it has been fully upgraded with the new style compressor, EGV, Diffuser, Chamber. The P120's from the serial number I listed above and older were around 24 - 25 pounds of blow. At 115,000 I would guess it is pushing closer to 16 pounds.
Just what I recall from running thousands of these engines over the years on test stands, etc.
