if the price is right buy it and you won't be disappointed but with the SX's out the NIB price of an SE has dropped a good bit.

Know one else has any good or bad thing to say about the P120 SE, I see that in Jet International magazine. That JetCat Germany is still advertising it, they may have so overstock, who knows?

If you look through this forum, there are hardly any posts on the 120SE or SX this should tell you its own story.

120SE is a great motor, much improved spool over the standard 120

very smooth motor

If the price is right, you won't regret buying it.

I'll be looking for a 120 soon for my Skymaster L-39. So, newbie question: What is the difference between the SE and SX?

Thanks

SE has gas or kerosene start options, the SX is internal kerosene start only (can be made external if absolutely necessary), the SX has a machined compressor and produces a bit more thrust. if you find an SE at a good price, there's no reason to pass it up over an SX.

Ok, good to know. I was wondering if maybe something was wrong with the SE and hence the SX version. Thanks, KC

no problems with any of them, it's just advancements in technology which is a win for all of us.

Yes indeed! It does seem like not needing the propane apparatus for start would make things easier and is a good improvement.

I've got some buddies that fly with Georgia Jets, and a couple of others over in Mobile...they've all highly recommended the JetCat 120. Every time I mentioned another make, they've steered me back to JetCat. I'm hoping there will be a Pensacola Jets again this year at Holley Field. I should have my L-39 ready to go by then.

I've came down to Mobile and flew with that bunch at the land fill site before as well as Pensacola for both Pensacola Jets and Rally Of The Eagles.
