I think you've got a bargain there with that little time on the turbine!

My Jetcat P80 has > 50 hours on the clock and still going strong. If its a kerostart conversion you have, you may occassionaly need to de-crud the ceramic glow plug in kerosene in an ultrasound cleaner (you a welcome to use mine). This gives you a very reliable startup - so long as you have a good (high 'C' rating) battery pack of around 3000mA.

Ok thanks, I'm new to gas turbines so I will take that onboard. It comes with the batteries so hopefully they will be adequate.

Hi Jon. Got the Turbinator home and have been reading up on settings and procedures. Got a question tho, the previous owner ran the turbine on Jet A1 fuel, should I continue to use that and where can I get it.
Thanks John

Most of us run kerosene, you'll be fine with that. I get mine from

Red Eagle Fuels, 5 Willis Way, Poole BH15 3SS

You'll just need to order some turbine oil, you can get it from Motors and Rotors and other places
