Default Jet turbine reliability

The M+D turbine manual specifies diesel or JetA1 mixed with 4% 2 stroke oil or Aeroshell 560 turbine oil. The tanks are about 42 litres. It gobbles fuel but a one way direct climb and glide retrieve flight will be cheaper than a return road retrieve (by the time you add fuel and vehicle depreciation etc)- but obviously more than a turbo retrieve.
