Status: offline 		Ok. So this thread is 3 years old now and JJ is still in business. How are you guys who are flying them fairing? Good? Bad? I was at the Maine Jet Rally over the weekend and saw a lot of flying but have no idea if anyone was running one. Joe has had 3 years to get it right. How's he doing? I read I glowing report of Gabe, one of his US reps who is apparently in the process of moving to Florida.

So, tell me.....

I saw one seize up at the Cincinnati Jet meet last month. I believe it was the only JetJoe at the meet. I have no other details.

They will now be mounted into my A10 Warthog
My advice is be prepared to work on these turbines and you will be OK

Yeah Mr. Raggoti, I know about your reputation here *, and your kind of help.

And I have to believe that Mr. Pettit is a reliable source. Much more then you can normally expect here on these threads.

Your spelling continues to be poor. I'll not correct the mistake this time as I see your a bit on edge and don't seem to take advice well.
How many hours do YOU have on YOUR JetJoe without having to have some kind of repair? How about helping out X8103 by answering HIS question? ANYBODY???
I know I've asked this same question many times without much success.

Status: offline 		I think that the workmate statements are completely appropriate. Primarily because, apparently, that is where most JJ owners run them. Certainly it is very rare to see one flying!

So can anyone provide real data that these are in fact reliable engines??? Anyone with lots of un-modified flight hours????

Status: offline 		As far as Dick Petit's review, we all know that he does a good job of building planes quickly and does "fairly" good quick reviews. This has nothing to do with the engine running more than a few flights. I didn't read the review so can't comment further.
The only other JJ I've seen was the one Dave saw. I saw it again at the Dayton D.O.G.S. show where the plane taxied out for takeoff and then the JJ almost burned the tail off. The guy said he was really sorry that he recommended the engine to his friends.

Mark P - JetCat, Jet Central, Wren, and maybe one day a JJ owner.

Nik,
Thank You for calling that to my attention. I'll revise it without getting my nickers in a wad.......
Now...if any JJ owners would like to comment on X8103 post on how they are doing?

Dave
