The P160 JetCat with 37 lbs of thrust should give you about 400 fpm on a 15
meter ship. We worked the numbers out for a ASW 27 this last spring. It could
self launch with a auto tow to get you up to speed to break ground. 2.5 gals
of fuel will give you about 5 2500 ft. climbs. They have a FCM for engine
start and just need a batery like we carry already. The P160 goes for about
$3995. My R/C friends have smaller versions on their r/c Jets. Try to find a
r/c hobby shop for a field around you where these guys are flying. They are
something to see. Tom
