Default JetCat P60 Kerostart

Has anyone used the kerostart on a p60 (non-SE)? What were the results? Good? Bad? Was it worth it? Does the price make up for the "hassel" of a powermax start?

I have Kero on a P-60 (non-SE) and it is well worth it for my conditions. Living in the Seattle area and flying during winter it is the only way to go for me. When the temps get below 50 or so , gas is a pain (I guess in more ways then one :-) ). I have even started it at 28 degrees and no problem. I have no intrest in flying when it is that cold but it shows that it works well even below freezing. If I lived in a warmer area I might stay with Powermax because the starts are faster, use less battery and the price of a glow plug is only 6 or 7 dollars.

I have 130 flights on a non se P-60 kero start. The latest plug and software works wonderful, i have converted all of my jets to kero start.

I have several customers using the Kero start on P60's. Though the P60 is not the easiest combustion chamber for the Kero unit to work it seems to work well, especially if the burner is kept 10-2 around the top.
