As we announced in the Radio Control Jet International, our new Mercury HP (High Performance) turbine is now in full production, and has already proved so popular that the first batch of motors have all been reserved - even before we ship the first engines in the next 2 or 3 weeks.

The Mercury HP is exactly the same 100mm (3.95") diameter as the original Mercury, but 5mm (0.25") shorter. However the main difference is in the thrust which is now uprated to 9kg (19.8 Lbs), representing an increase of some 25% over the 'original' motors, this extra performance being achieved by internal redesign and development.

The photo on top shows the smart new anodised inlet & front cap, in AMT Netherlands colours, and also the new fuel, propane & air quick-connection fittings which are now extended through the front cap to allow easier and faster installation.
