Hmmmm at 30 GPH per side, (those little engines use a lot of fuel)
That's about 5 minutes total . Yah outta be able to make some where
around 5,000 to 10,000 feet before flame out. Gas is needed for
climb, but optional for landing.

Wow, that RC/B52 had 8 of them... Seems excessive, without going back to
research it on the manufacters website for a looksee...

I didn't see this line back in the thread so here's some shots of the
twin engine Kri Kri http://www.amtjets.com/gallery_real_plain.html

The larger engine uses 22.5 ounces of fuel per minute, or 1,350 per
hour. That at roughly 6# per gallon that is 14 GPH. (The add said
they had improved efficiency ) Go to http://www.amtjets.com
and select specifications. The fuel consumption is near the bottom
of the chart.

That works out to be 28 per hour or a whole 10 minutes with 5 gallons
on board.

28 lbs/hour......or am i missing something, but 28 lbs/hour gives you
almost a full hour with 2 pound researves.......I also believe those
fuel flow figures to be at max thrust.......anyone know
