| nice machine, and you wont be disapointed with the JETCAT
there is no real maintenance, as it is all done every 50hrs on a service for which you have send the mechanics back to JETCAT, where they normally replace the bearing and check the tension of the belts and replace and tighten if neccessary and update the ECU to the latest firmware.
the only maintenance i do is just check the filters as you would normally do on a nitro machine. apart from that there nothing else to really do apart fromt he susal pre flight checks you would normally do on a normal machine.
As to Kero, yes you do need to mix oil in at 5%, which is a 1 quart can of turbine oil ( i use MObil Jetoil) some use Aero shell 500, others use BP oil, they are the 3 i know of, you mix 1 full quart can of oil for every 19 litres of JETA1 fuel.
SOme use Parasene which is like green house heater fuel it has a less odour to it.
I am unsure if you can get parasene in the USA.
Welcome to the turbines
