Introduction
Congratulations, you have just purchased a turbo-jet engine from KingTech Turbines,
with the highest standards and technologies in turbine design and manufacturing. We
will provide you with the best after-sales customer support and service to ensure you
with many years of enjoyment with this new turbine engine.
Obviously, model turbine aviation - despite all the apparent fun involved - is serious
business. All Kingtech turbine jet engines have been through an extensive period of
R&D and testing.
To begin, read this manual thoroughly. Develop an overall impression of the engine
and its operating procedures, measuring equipment and accessories.
Study the material step-by-step and ascertain how to install, operate and maintain
your turbine engine. If you are unsure about anything, re-read it again or contact us
directly.
DO NOT OPERATE THE TURBINE BEFORE YOU HAVE READ THE MANUAL AND
FULLY UNDERSTAND EVERY PROCEDURAL DETAIL
Once you are accustomed to handling the Kingtech turbine, you will observe that it is
a very reliable engine. Some experienced operators have expressed their belief that
it handles better than many piston engines. However, always remember, this is a
REAL JET ENGINE, requiring knowledge, discipline and maintenance.
In order to learn more about the development of the model turbine engine and
understand its function, we highly recommend reading Gas Turbine Engines for
Model Aircraft by Kurt Schreckling and Model Jet Engines by Thomas Kamps. These
