JetBeetle turbines?
Good day,
I'm interested in purchasing a JetBeetle H100 turbine, however, I was unable to find an aircraft, manned or RC, using a JetBeetle engine. When asked, the company answered that several target drones may haved been powered by a JetBeetle turbine and that there is a jet powered glider project on it's way.
The engine itself seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, with good performances at a decent price, but such an unknown track record makes me hesitate.
Do any of you ever purchased a JetBeetle turbine? Or have any information about their use in model or manned aviation? Am I really taking a risk ordering this engine?
Any comments are appreciated. Thank you.

With so many proven 100 size engines why gamble on a no name.
Kingtech, Jet Central, Jets Munt, Jet Cat, Behotec, and now Swiwin. (Im sure Im forgetting a few)
Have all proven themselves to be reliable and have good support.
Theres no shortage of good choices.

He has been making turbines for a long time, i remember talking with him at least 8~10 years ago. Yet still to this day i have never seen one operating and know of no one that has one.
Big risk, it you want the thrust go with the majors AMT and JC come to mind and BF has a 400 on the way.

Good day,
The H100 is indeed producing 100lbf of thrust. I've contacted several turbine manufacturers producing turbines in the 66-105 lbf (300-400 N) range but they all gave me a delivery time of 6 to 8 months. JetBeetle is quicker and less expensive, that's why it caught my attention.
I didn't know about Kingtech, thanks for the advice Dieselman1220, their 310 turbine could work for my project.
