After been off the air for quite long time, finally I´M BACK
Now I'm a happy owner of a Kingcat which building process I enjoyed step by step, and I'm sure same will be with flying it.
It has a P-120 and all the stuffing is JR equipment..
Also has pressurerize smoke system....and works great.
One of the good things about this hobby is that is a nice way to make good quality friendships...somehow it makes all us not to work alone....but as a team...as buddies. In that order I want thanks my buddy Alex Dupuy for his support and quality time at the Jetlab. Also want to thanks Giuseppe which also was there helping to make more enjoyable the time at the Lab. And of course Andy, our own local German test pilot.
Regards,
Miguel

PS...Is good to be on the air again!

Gotta love that kingcat! I love mine!

Raf

It is good to have you back in the air my friend. It was a long time coming. We will enjoy these babies for a looong time

Alex

....me too - I have also the pleasure with mine since long time !
Regards from Switzerland
Fritz

Yes, this is the right jet!

Someone send me a pm asking me about the smoke system I used.....works with air (80psi) ...not a pump.
I modified Tam's sprayers reducing the gap at the exit tip to 0.003" x 1" long, and a mix of diesel fuel with ATF (75-25%)...and considering to use 50-50%

Don´t hesitate to ask me again,

Later,

Miguel

What do U store the air in?? Do u find its a problem to get consistent smoke as air is depleted?

Thx, Don.

The plastic bottler cap is sealed with hysol.
I'm using an aditional medium size air tank to make sure the flow is constant til the end. In considering to install a larger air tank...

Saludos Miguel,

I know you guys had been using the preassure smoke sys. for a while. But what if you put too much air preassure to that plastic bottle? KABOOOON!!!!!!!!! Do you really love your KC?

Alex

Miguel,
Good to see you back in the air. I myself have taken a long break and just recently started flying again with a Velox.
Anyway, Glen came out to the field the other day with a completely overhauled King Cat with lights and all. Now this will make you want to repaint yours in Dominican colors
Mark

Couple more
He will yell at me for posting but I have to tell him about your smoke system since I teased him yesterday that how could a Jamaican airplane not have smoke LOL

Alex,
When I first begin to play with this kind of system (about 3 years ago)...I made contact with a friend of mine who is an engineer at Pepsi Cola factory. The pep bottles break point is at 175 psi...and I'm only working at 80psi. BTW....in normal use fill with cola, the pressure is 30psi.

MS

Hi Mark,
Good to hear from you.
Overhaul or Pimp your KC????
Maybe the feature I could decide to play with colors.....but know I have another patien about to be on top of my table next week and its going to take me long time....[&:]
Take care and thanks for posting those nice pictures
MS

Hi Miguel,

Cheers
Florent

PS: Hey guys....I just realise this is my post # 1000...Does RCU give some award for this?

Alex is good see that you are back on the sadle, soon I will have the oportunitie to try a King Cat as I'm rebuilding one for a friend of mine. Keep flying as much as you can and enjoy it, say Hi to Alex and may be I will see you guys at Florida jets next year.

You get a large bill for server space or you can work it off as a moderator LOL
