Prop wash, If you would like to get a turbine I suggest something that runs for your first turbine such as a jetcat or behotec ETC.I have a TJT 300 which has 16 hours on it which gets a strip down every few hours or so to check all is well. I have had this turbine for 10 years now and it is a ripper. later you can buy a JJ to tinker with and learn to dismantle and re assemble, they are cheap enough to get parts for and will teach you allot. As I said I have been using and dismantling turbines for years but all has been well now I am learning something since I have to play with things. or if your not in a hurry to get a turbine in the air get a jj first. you can get one from
WWW.jetjoe.com .
Xairflyer, is it a STD FLAP or HANUMAN ?

I have a Zodiac 601 HD. Might get a STD Xair oneday for a bit of fun but am going to build a Zodiac 701 first. I will order a new shaft tunnel along with the o rings and check to see if there are any differences.
I will order all the parts tomorrow from JJ.
Will keep you all updated.
