looking forward to this new engine. And, put me in the camp of those wanting smaller airframes that are designed for these smaller engines. I'm sure many will disagree, but I find the manufacturers' insistence on pushing large airframes problematic, and ultimately self-defeating.
There is a HUGE market out there for turbines, IF manufacturers will produce smaller ARF kits. Most of us don't have access to huge fields, or want trailer and large vehicles. Many of us don't want to cart around 10 gallons of kero. The average paved field is around 500-600. And with more fields closing every day and more restrictions on turbines, it makes sense to fly smaller models.
At at the moment, the only military jets for the K45 are the CJM and JHH kits, which require serious building skills. Wouldn't it be nice if KT/Pacific jets worked with one of the Asian manufacturers to bring us 65-72" size Mirage, F-16, f-15, -18, Panther, etc. The Sky-e-master series is nice, but the model offerings are too limited. Tam's F16 was great, but is out of production.
Come on manufacturers, bring us some smaller jets. If you want us to buy more engines, given us something to put them in!

So much agree with all the above!
And from a business point of view, and think i said this before, what would be better.....
Selling 1 or 2 10K+ birds or 100 small ones......

Models have been getting TOO big lately. But I'm not a fan of small ones either. But, I digress....
Thank you to the Kingtech guys for putting out so many turbines for us!
My 1/7.75 A-10 will either have these or the new K85's! Woohoo! Kerosene for everyone!!

rich I certainly hope you're not planning to install the k70 in your sub sonix The 45 is far more power than that airframe needs
in my mini of avanti I hardly get above half throttle only using full throttle for take off and some verticals. Still looking for the short kit of the sub sonix to become available have fun

Cant wait when this engine is in the states! Crazy how KT went from new comer to the top 3 maby even the leader in model turbines. Cant beat the price, reliability, quality, features, and performance. Not to mention the fuel eco and lifetime warranty, helps with less pipe wear and great coverage on the investment for each engine. Sucks to say Jets Munt will loose quite a few sales on their m70 that made some hype when it was first announced. As its still in beta, with the k70 AND k85 coming around the corner to fill that market, if they maintain the kt reliability (as im sure they will when including lifetime warranty duhh!) then the choice for the proven engines is a no brainer.
On the other side.......we need MORE AIRPLANES! As home builds are fun, but we need ARF'S MAN!!!. I would love to build a lightweight hsd j10 airframe with a k70 and put a grumania TV on it, hover, flatspins, backflips, etc. I think that would be just flat out bad*****!
Also a small f22 would be great too, the largest foamie they made is a cheap ol 90mm edf f22 or twin 70mm. I want something suitable for a k70 or k85, not a JL f22 that needs 100n+. And the airplanes listed earlier in the forum are cool planes but to expensive for west coast and are not very fun airplanes. I would like more modern airframes, maby fully 3d capable sport jets and better performing scale jets. So hopefully some of these airplane makers see this forum and start R&D on some more affordable and smaller planes like HSD and T-one, they opened up the ears and listened to what we needed and are now making some serious dough because hsd cant seem to keep any airplanes or parts in stock -_-

I will bash a Phoenix Gripen long before I buy these. What we need are more military airframes in the 72" (1.8M) range. F-104, F-106, F-105, Mirage, Rafale, SU-27, F-16, Mig-21, A-7 and so on. Basically, take a page from Freewing and build some composite (or balsa) for turbine.

Jet fan 90 with motor weighs 452 grams, k45 700 grams, k70 720 grams that is a huge difference.!
Jetcat P20 396 grams Lambert Turbines have very similar weights to Jet Cat

So can anyone tell me what the idle thrust is for this new K70? It will be in a very slippery air frame that already does not like to slow down. I was going to put an MW44 Gold or the K45 in it.

Yes for sure, email Peter, he does English perfect. He builds and sells Opus V-jet turn key for all over the world.

But yes, finding a plane in the right quality and price range to suite everyone is hard. specially when needing then available world wide at resonable shipping costs. For us MotionRC is useless but for US customers they supply the foamies at great introduction prices.
