I was talking to Gaspar at the Jetpower fair last Weekend.
He told me that they still couldn't find why the bearings are overheating and have to be replaced at around 10hrs.
They have a work around, but that would require a whole new production of parts. (slightly longer turbine)
Since they already have alot of pre made parts, they will try to make them work, before throwing away the whole batch...
He said the testing is really time consuming, and it is hard for him to find enough time to work on it. Gaspar said he is not able to tell a date. They could find the problem by tomorrow, in a few weeks, or it could even take months...
