George, you made the mistake of assuming someone bought a Kingtech because they could not ''afford'' a Jetcat. Just admit your mistake and move along.
I'll second that ..
It actually would seem that KingTech is one of he more reliable and successful brands around now. I have owned and flown engines from many manufacturers over the years. EVERY one of the has had issues, and most manufacturers were good with support ( except for AMT who were a bunch of clowns as they were on their way out)
I was debating on what engine to use on a pretty special project in the 180 class and ended up going with KingTech. I have yet to run the engine, but this decision was based on a consensus of experiences with the various 170/180 class engines out now. Price had no impact on the choice. I hope it runs as awesome as it has for a lot of the guys I have seen run theirs.
George once again you have stuffed your foot in your mouth here. Making a post like this is misleading. The title alone is fraudulent in making it look like this is something that may actually be coming from KingTech. I would suggest going about looking for attention in other ways

If you are really concerned about modelers engines and safety, i would have started a thread in a different way, or let the modeler with the faulty turbine do so. Somehow the story of a loose part does not sound right .. All manufacturers test run their engines and would have picked this up.Also, there is not much that even can even come loose inside a turbine ! maybe you would like to elaborate on that ?
