Default Looking for a RC Turbine for run ups and static display.

Hi all,

Does anyone know where I can find a used rc turbine engine for under $1000? I am not flying it, it will be just for display and the occasional run up and that's it.

TYIA,

Robert

I’ve never owned a turbine before. However I am an aircraft mechanic with my full A/P.
I will have to learn the start sequence.
Since I have never owned a turbine, I would be fine with anything. I take good care of my tech and this will be the most exciting thing I will ever own. 😊

Used turbine under 1K pop up on RC Groups classified several time a year. That would be a good place to run your request too.

I’ve got a propane start Jet Central falcon that runs well, but it does need a turbine guide vane. It has a vane missing, but otherwise runs great.

i may be willing to part with.

I have a jetcat p60 in good condition, propane start and would sell for $1000. Getting ready for Giant Scale event now on in California but could ship after Memorial Day weekend.

There are by far more of most any model products offered for sale on RC Groups than you will find here. Just go to the "aircraft-fuel-jets-fs-w-381"
section of the classifieds and keep an eye out. Posting your "wanted ad" may help as well.
