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 ?

Voy, just to clarify, you are talking about amtusa or us microjets right? AMT Netherlands are anything but clowns and far from on their way out nor did they have the issues the USA version had.
