Thumbs up

i did make an account, and, if you sent your turbine 4 times to maintenance, after 25 hrs, this is the money of an new engine, i run our engines, 50 ~ 60 hrs, when they back from dealer, needs only change bearings, and, the bearings could runs more 10 ~ 20 hours without any risk.The costs are US$450,00 ~ US$700,00. until US$400,00 for service and parts, its ok to me, but, above this value, buy an KINGTECH !!!
Well, today if our engine have had any "bigger" problem, i prefer buy new one, and, i will use the old to serve as spare parts.
we have 11 turbines, flying since 2001.


thats my point

Jose
