As your P80SE is a newer modle yes, but it's parts are share with the old P80 (like my P120 old school) jetcat is evolving, the P90rxi and P100 are in JetCat Germanys replacement for the overly large 18 pound thrust P80 wich except for a few updates is the same as your P80se. As we have to be honest if one was buying a 21 pound turbine new from JetCat no one would buy the larger, thursty, P80 vs the P90.
So when my older first generation P120 need parts it was very hard for JetCat to get as they have really moved on to better designs, but new companys like Kingtec haven't really had that issue, ( except the k180 vs k210)
Was I upset it took so long, yes, but I also relized that is why I have more than one jet.
Jhon will make it right,
Hey at least there still around, I love my (run them to they blow AMT turbines that cost almost as much as kingtecs to get serviced)
Sorry to say, but all this may be true for some turbines - but not for AMT Netherlands engines. I have engines going back to 1997 and whilst most have never needed any attention from the AMT factory and never gone back, when I need something done or supplied it was on my doorstep very quickly.
