Default P160SX Replacement?

Guys,

I didn't get a chance to speak to JetCat when at JetPower so just wonder if anyone knows of any plans for the 160SX to get updated/revised/replaced?

With the release of the P20/P100 I wondered if any features of these new engines would get applied to the 160SX and supersede it. I have a staggering ability to buy things just at the wrong time so thought I'd ask if anyone had any info before I bought 2 of them!

Cheers,
Mark

Look, lets be sensible for once.
All the manufacturers are constantly working on new ideas, HAWK have their efficient motors, Wren are pushing the power up on their range and sure JetCat are working on new ideas.
Like all manufacturers worth anything they need time to test, maybe more than most because of the way the company is structured. They don't like their customers doing the testing and maybe the turbo prop issues a few years back taught them a good lesson.
I'm not expecting anything new this year, I'm still waiting on nearly twenty P-20 turbines and one new engine a year is enough for any company. But only JC know exactly what is going on. Forum pressure does not help, look at the P-20 it was shown to some at JP last year and is only just going out now, buy a couple of P160's I'm sure you are safe. Everyone will know in plenty of time...
