The GPU Story..

Wen you fly a Citation, you learn that above 10,000 feet yopu need a GPU to start the engine, the density of the air make it too hard for th engine to start on its own.

The GPU will help the start up to 14000 feet above that you cannot start the engine on its own or the help of the GPU

We have 3 airport above 10000 feet, Juliaca in Peru, La Paz and Uyuni in Bolivia.

No GPU can be confirmed there, or at least we cannot get guarantee of the quality of the GPU.

We look at many option and finally I decided to borrow a GPU from Start Pac and have it shipped to Peru.

Well the one I choose was Lithium Battery, a hazard for transport in commercial airline, so we had to go to the Nica Battery one at 73 pounds.

Then to avoid the damage at custom, I decide they Guillaume from the office will bring the beast

Guillaume will start with us from lake Titicaca to Uyuni.

here is what the beast looks like, the Start Pac...not Guillaume



Man de we all used it, this was a very smart move
