Nice Video, I Love your testbench. Also, it's nice to see the 4-second acceleration, which is more realistic for a turbofan jet engine compared to having 2.5 sec. As most of the engines have.
2.5 seconds for "most engines"? No way. 4 seconds is pretty typical from idle to full on all 3 of my xicoys. MAYBE 3 on a nice cold day on my X45. Kingtechs and swiwins seem to be much slower. And if you're talking full scale turbofans that's hardly a relevant comparison.
@@aerialbugsmasher Yes, I only fly Jetcat, and the new generation is set at 2.5 sec up to 60000 Rpm. And this is standard!!!!! So full thrust, maybe 3.5 sec. Needs to be adjusted, obviously, depending environment.
I looked at this turbine and most of the Xicoy turbines as my turbine of choice, but for high altitude flying, but my understanding js Gasper is not interested in testing these turbines for higher altitude customers, since most of his customers at at sea level, I certainly understand it’s a business decision, also from what I understand diesel is not recommend for these turbines. As for Swiwin ( I own 8+) i’m having concerns about the quality and reliability that’s coming out of China. So for now on to the next series the Kingtech G5 turbine, hopefully for higher altitude we see slightly better acceleration due to the new fuel pump design.
Look into jet central turbines. The factory is at 7000ft MSL in Mexico City. They're not as light or efficient as the latest and greatest Xicoys but they're well regarded and they have lifetime warranties. I've heard great thigns about them
@@thelightersideofrc full throttle, wait for display to say pump cal, then decrease slowly down to idle and let stabilize. Done. Without that, acceleration tests aren't worth much

43ftlbs is almost 200 newtons, not bad!
These micro turbines aren't looking so micro anymore. Lol. They look like power
HAHA. Yes for sure!
Great video.. Thanks Jonathan 🙏🏻
My pleasure!
Xicoy is top👌👌👌i will have one soon🥰
👍
Nice review looks like a very good product.
Great option in this size for sure!
I say get the X240 for your BDX.
🙌
Nice very nice. 😊😊😊😊😊
Fast engine! HMMMM. BDX with Xicoy or Swiwin🤔

That's a beast!
Nice Engine for sure!

Will one of these power a bicycle to 100mph? I’m thinking of building a jet powered custom frame for speed runs. Thanks.
Probably.

Why do you own 8+ swiwin?

@@rr-ti2xp I'm sorry is he not allowed to do what he wants with his money?
@@rr-ti2xp I have many jets, hate swapping turbines out.
Did you calibrate the pump before shooting the video? Did not see any of that happening here.
Nope. Did not do any calibration

@@thelightersideofrc I must second this. Really important to do this with Xicoys. They behave very differently after calibration.
What is the price of the engine please?
On Xicoy Website listed as 2800 euros.
