Dave, I thank you and Jetcat for the quick responses to sort out the issue but I have to say I don't get why you and Jetcat thought trying to sell an inferior product would not come back and bite you!
If only Jetcat had thought about what they are doing and got it right first time, then instead of all this c**p being spread over this thread, we would have been saying what a superb turbine the P180rx is because, based on the tests Mark did today, all my expectations will have been met
I hope you and Jetcat have learnt your lesson.
Geoff, there is nothing new here. Lets think back a few years.. Early P120's had compressor blades fall off (had one or two yourself didn't you?) and also combustion chambers fail as they were made of stainless. Then came the P160, that thing used to blow up as often as they ran so then they de-rated it and call it a Titan, great fix... Then we see the turbo prop, the early ones used to self district regularly and I even watched one plane land with the prop sticking out the wing with the prop shaft still attached. There was also big issues with early P200 engines but I can't remember the full details. These are just a handful I call recall sitting here and I'm sure you are aware of them all so lets face it you knew what you were buying so stop moaning and 8itching at my mate Dave like an old woman
. As I see it your choices are either carry on being Jetcats Guinea pig or buy Merlin or AMT fit and forget engines.
