New Product Announcement from Jet Central
 

Jet Central is pleased to announce the all new Rhino 200 SP series turbine with PowerPack.
Shown for the first time this week at Jet Power, Germany the response was overwhelming. Our sales at Jet Power were exciting, resulting in a "sell out" plus we processed 3 orders to be shipped.
Juan Ramon Ruiz has designed and developed this totally new and exciting addition to our SP series. The 200 develops a measured 45 lb of thrust (200 NEWTONS) at 120,000 max RPM. Idle thrust is 0.6kg @ 32,000 RPM. All up turbine weight is 1.78kg or 3 lb 14.78oz. with a diameter of 111 mm and 302 mm in length. Turbine comes complete with our latest PowerPack system, ECU battery, FOD screen, Sbus connector cable, 3,4 and 6 mm FESTO clear fuel tubing, and flash drive which contains a complete manual as well as various instructional videos. Our industry leading Lifetime Warranty gives you peace of mind knowing, "you only pay for our turbine once!" The service interval of 25 hours has a fixed cost of $250 regardless of parts replacement required. Brush less starter motor, user adjustable acceleration settings and the option of using Diesel, Kerosene or Jet A fuel provides optimum performance and reliability.

Introductory price of the complete Rhino 200 SP series turbine system; only. . . $3,695 plus shipping.

Great news Eric, I'm sure it will be a huge success

Eric
Are you coming to Super Jet South?

Eric
Looks great, are these available now for shipments in the US?

Eric,
Will this replace the current Rhino offering?

RCISFUN. . .Shipment is scheduled to begin within 30 days. Juan returns from Jet Power Tuesday to our production facility. A conference call is planned to determine the production schedule and ship date commencement.

Edgar Perez. . .My understanding is yes however, I will confirm this as well. The Rhino 200 is totally new and parts specific.

Any and all questions regarding the Rhino 200 SP, or any other of our offerings are welcome to this forum or by email to : [email protected] OR [email protected]

Thank you,
Eric

Hola Edgar
Yes, the 200 replaces the current Rhino
Regards

Dang, I just bought a 40# Rhino SP.
we all need more "Power!!!

See post #6

Wow, its like a little Mammoth!

Eric, I have a gas start Rhino that I was thinking about upgrading to kero start with the powerbox or maybe even the 40 lb version. Will that path still be available?

I also have a couple of gas Rhinos. What kind of updates are available for these turbines ? Kerostart ?

Hello
Unfortunately previous rhinos will not be upgradable, too many changes
Regards

Eric,

JF-170 Rhino has an average consumption of 0.52 liter per minute. The new Rhino consumption of 0.7 liter per minute is average as well? Is safe to say that the consumption will be 30% higher?

Best,

Gabriel

will the Mammoth have anymore increase with this new design?

Hello gapellegrini
The fuel consumption on the 200 is about the same (a little less actually) than in the old rhino, the 0.52 is an average in flight, the 0.7 is at full power
Regards

Hi Juan,
I am confused. I have two Rhino turbines one is a 170 gas start and one is a 170 kero start. Your USA web site lists a 175 kero start at 40 lbs and now you are announcing a Rhino 200. I understand that the 200 is different than the previous Rhino's, but how is it different than the 175 and how is the 175 different than the 170? I don't want to upgrade to the 200 version, just wanted to know about updating my gas start version to the Kero version. Going to the 175 would be a bonus but not necessary. I actually got a price quote from Eric to do this earlier this year and just wanted confirmation that converting a 170 gas to 170 kero start is no longer an option.
Thanks.

Sailing 1:

Your 170 propane start Rhino can be converted to kero start and as well, to the PowerPack and SP versons. Each has its own separate cost. if done at the same time, you save money on the labor. The 175 Rhino SP produces a solid 40 lbs of thrust. Our all new Rhino 200 is a totally new turbine. Juan engineered this engine through many painstaking hours. Tests after test after test. The response to this latest release at Jet Power was more than encouraging. Now, comes the question; "can your existing Rhino's be converted to the new Rhino SP 200. The answer is no as Juan stated elsewhere in this thread.
Jet Central will continue to offer parts and service for all previous Rhino's with or without the Lifetime Warranty. We will not let any customer down in any way.

Juan will probably answer your posted question as well. Thank you for your loyalty to Jet Central turbines and accessories. . .

Kind regards,
Eric

Thanks Eric,
Thanks for explaining -- I was hoping that the path to upgrade was there and your explanation makes sense to me. Have two new projects in the works for this winter and just need to figure out which Jet Central turbines will go into them. Am thinking the new Rabbit 106 for my new/old Custom Classic Flash build and either another Cheetah or Rhino for the A4. And by the way, your Jet Central smoke pump turned my Comp Arf Viper into a certified SMOKE MONSTER.

I suggest renaming the Rhino 200 the Sabertooth Tiger!;)

Out of curiosity, what is the certification process for a smoke monster?

Jim

Hey Jim,

Well its a pretty esoteric deal, but basically you line the plane up on the runway, turn on the smoke and hit the gas. If neither you or your spotter can see the jet as it rotates then it is officially a "Smoke Monster". If you reacquire the plane before you hit something you get Bonus Monster Points.

Just FYI, the Green and White Comp Arf Viper at RT66 was mine. Between the Viper and Little Boomer we managed to go through over 5 gallons of smoke the meet.
