Thanks for the info.. at my local field most are jetcats, i know one of 1 jet central falcon, and there is Jetpilot24's turbine which I think is a slimjet?

Looking thru all the respones.. 19lbs is enough power, 22lb is over kill? The BD is not a speed burner.

Buy a Jetcat P-120 SE, turn it down and when you're ready to move up you'll have an engine good for a larger application. You will not be disappointed nor go wrong with JetCat.

well sed

I converted my byron bd-5 to turbine, the dry weight is going to be 18-20 lbs dry. I am trying to decided on which turbine to put in it:

Jet Central Rabbit (warranty)
Merlin-90 (size and thrust)
Jet Cat P80se (price)

this is going to be my first turbine engine. Sorta burned out trying to figure which engine would work, and down the road I have a more selection to put in something else.

Thanks
Friend of mine had one with a Jetcat P-70.... Plenty of power and flew great. I would go with the P-80SE.. Great price for an awesome motor that will run and run and run and run like a champ.
No need for some of these warranty programs... Buy quality once and be done with it...

Like the "RonCo. Oven" Start it and forget it!!!!

Frank,
You're covered for whichever one you buy. I have Jet Cat , Jet Central and Wren. Merlin is similar to Jet Central.
