In my view this is where I feel Jetcat USA (If it was them you bought it from) should step up to the plate and help you with some of this shipping cost. I am guessing that in India $300 US represents quite a lot of money compared to the average salary in India

I think 300 is a fair bit of money anywhere on earth. Especially for shipping a small engine. I love my jet cats. Have owned at least 6-7 so not trashing them. Just a wee bit disappointed and considering that we have to deal idiotic customs it's going to be a painful process to send it out and bring it back in. Im sending it back next week. Fingers crossed and hope it comes back the way it should have in the first place. And without customs headache.

Average salary in India? It's a $4k motor when new. Doubt he makes an average salary. $300 is steep no matter how you look at it though.

Like anything the warranty is from the original date of purchase...but you get a win from the motor going back, as its like having a service, I bet if they find anything they will sort it, so motor comes back ready for another long stint...

Hi Guys, I normally don't post but I feel I have to give credit when it is due. Also, I think this would give some of you a piece of mind. I have one of the early 180 RX turbines and it had issue from the day one. I started using it in early April and it did spend most of its time with UPS between me and jetcat and it's final trip to Jetcat was in Sept and that was the reason that it was one if the first 8 that John mentioned that they would be getting worked on and from what I know, may be the first or second one. The turbine was updated and returned to me and I received it yesterday and I ran it today. The difference is very very noticeable. The start is very smooth (like my other 120, 80, etc.) and so is the acceleration. I did play with it for a while and everything seem good. First, I have to say thanks to John as I talked with him many times and did feel that he cares. Second, assuming the in the air performance is the same, it was worth waiting as I don't handle change very well and like to keep only one brand of each product to eliminate confusion and mistakes.
Thanks
