KIngtech 210 Arrives
 

Yesterday was a good day ! My long awaited Kingtech 210. Serial number 001 got to my workshop.Its a jewel. The machined compressor and some other small changes have really improved the look and feel of the turbine over previous KT's ( Not that there was anything wrong with them, but this is a noticeable step up ) The same usual simple clean install aspects that we have become accustom to.

I know that some people are going to, and are already taking potshots at the fact its got my signature on it. The simple fact is. I am not too fussed. When Kingtech approached me with the idea. I had no hesitation in committing to it. I knew that there would be haters out there, but thats just the nature of the hobby it seems. I have used a number of different brands over the years, and worked with some of the big manufactures. I have never, ever had anything close to the consistent reliability from one manufacture. Added to this. I have never received the level of service that I have with KT. Thats not me ragging on other brands ( Before this all greets started ) Thats me saying that I am so happy with the product and the back up of Kingtech. That I am more than proud to be associated with their product, any way that I can.

Now that bits over, and before the usual RCU fun and games begins…. I need to decide what to fit this to. With my move to the USA going on. I am in a bit of a staled state when it comes to new jets in the build right now. I may just fit it to my 50% Scale fox acro glider as this is a quick way to get it in the air and an ideal test and demo platform. However. The turbine itself is so pretty, and especially with the serial number of 001 I am tempted to just put it in a glass case :p

Whichever way I travel. I will try to keep you guys updated. I have to admit, I am more inclined to update other aspects of social media. Not only do they get more coverage. They seem to have less haters!

Ali. The single aspect of this hobby that puts me off is the 'haters' as you put it. So much mindless vitriol and aggression. As for the KT210 - looks fantastic along with the Merlin 200! All for the same weight and size as a 160! Advances seem to be accelerating. Exciting times.

Looks great Ali - should be a hell of a performer!!

Wishing you many happy landings..

Ultra Flash :)

I got mine today, yes pity about the name, lol Haters gonna hate.

I will install this weekend and hopefully fly her

At some point I'll have to give KT a try. Looking forward to hearing what the long term experience is from 210 fliers. The price is right and we hear nothing but good feedback from Barry and his teams service turnaround time.

And I would not worry about people complaining about a signature... Some people will think it's fine, some people will think it's silly. It all comes down to engine performance and reliability.

My friend has 002. Will be flying it at JOKE next week. We ran it last week and what a beast it is. Can't wait to see it go.

I get to drool over mine at JOK next week.
I'll hug it and squeeze it and sniff it, but not because Ali's name is on it:rolleyes:

Ultra Flash with full gear doors all round!

A signature engine always looks good. More stuff to point at and talk about with your friends. Got to like it.

Good looking engine. Congrats.

Love the engine AND the signature! Having your name on it Ali makes it cooler IMHO ;-)

machine compressor? Dang nice, some pics would be great. A refresh of there other turbines with the machined compressor would be nice as well.

Looks great mate congratulations, I'd have nothing but pride if a company asked to put my name on anything (not that they would) regardless of what anyone else thinks, jealously is a terrible mistress!

If I can find a paint pen in time I will have Ali sign mine again so I can have an authentic signature.:cool:

Thanks allot guys. I am super proud to be asked to be associated with such a cool product.

Just put mine in the hawk

Here they are side by side..I am pulling the 180g out and installing the Ali horse today. Hope to be at KY on Wednesday to see how she pushes the hawk.

Absolutely gorgeous!!!! How about one of these in the new Skymaster 1/5 Fighting Falcon?! Yes please ;)

Sweet! Good luck. I wish I was there to see it go.

Regards Al

looks nice , so 210 is 45lb , 50lb ??

So Ali, when you became famous, did you have to hire a designer to reinvent the signature? :p
If I ever put my horrible doodle on any piece of equipment, value would go down immediately, even if I were the inventor of the cure for cancer!!!!!

Now seriously... I was playing with dantleys 210 yesterday and looks awesome! congrats!
