Ronnie, I think David was running a 160 on the kc at austin.

If he was running a 120, then that begs the question, can you run a 120 on a 160 ECU?

I don't think so, but never asked.

Yeah I think friday he was running the 160, then had a few problems and replaced it with a 120. I'm pretty sure it was a 120, I may be wrong though.

The P-120 is more than enough power for the Kingcat and it will EASILY run right up to 200mph. Just my opinion, but I think the P-120 is the best choice for the KC.
FYI, we have been flying Kingcats for a NASA project with the RCATS telemetry system. We see 195+ in level flight and I've hit 225 in a low pass after a 400 dive of about 40 degrees.

Also, I've seen BV's original Kingcat fly several times with the P160, and I agree, its sporty. However, saw Dustin flying that same airplane at MidAtlantic jets and I commented on the performance. Dustin told me that they had a problem with the P160, and that it actually had a new P120 on it - I really couldn't tell the difference...

I agree that the P120 is an excellent option for the Kingcat.

Anyone who's seen what Jason Sommes can do with a 120 powered Kingcat knows that it really doesn't matter what powerplant is on that airplane. The Kingcat's flight envelope is far beyond the skills any of us have.

Therin lies your problem.... you Don't ask!


I was flying a P-160 on Thursday, took it out and flew a P-120 for the rest of the weekend. I have flown all three engiens on the Kingcat and while my preference is the P-160 there is not a really big difference between the 120 and 160 performance.

Gentlemen.

This thread was mistakenly removed during an attempt to lock it from further posting as it has served its purpose.

It was an honest mistake and not a right wing conspiracy by the Jets moderators with a company or reps as we were accused of.

In consideration with the forgoing and due to the fact that the thread IMOHO has ran its course; we are going to restore the thread in a locked status.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Regards

Ben
