Just to clarify things a little, YES the SimJet turbines are much lower in price than the jetcat at the moment and there is a very good reason for this. The last 2 years the dollar have gone down from app 8,5 Danish kroner to 6,3 kr. this should have made the SimJet turbines 25 % more expensive in the USA like jetcat But close to a year a go we had the feeling that this fall of the dollar would continue for a while and that this was a part of the politic to get the economic on track again in the USA.
As a company that export more than 98 % we have the possibility to buy a insurance to cover us from currency fluctuations so we don’t like jetcat have to raise our prises every time the dollar go down.
Normally the SimJet prices would be close to that of a Jetcat , so the price difference are not due to lower production cost or quality.

Reg. The electronic , yes it is right that we in 2001 had problems with the electronic and we spend more than 150 thousand dollar to produce new ECUs and send more than 450 new ECUs FOC to all the SimJet owners we could track that had this 2001-D1 version.

If you look back over the last 12 years that SimJet made and sold turbines the quality SimJet turbine it self have newer been a issue at all it is A1 like the jetfuel.

It may surprise some that I say this , Jetcat do make good turbines , and not so surprisingly so do SimJet and I must congratulate them they have been much better I damage control than we have, when we at SimJet back in 2001 realised we had a problems with the Ecu and same day went public on our homepage and did inform all our dealers that we hat to get all the 2001-D1 ECU back and would send new instead, the forums thread did not say , look at the good service SimJet provide they tell you there is problem and would like to correct it for you FOC ,I refer to the hardware and software problems with the P.160 I must say they are good at it , well don.

We at SimJet also know that it is very easy to loss your reputation and very hard restore it, but with the new D2 and D3 ECU we have had no more problems than any other manufactures in this business, and we are actually selling a lot of engines, but it is very hard to kill hearsay and roomers often from guys how don’t have a SimJet or not are up to date.

Ed and Kevin of great northern models have preformed a fantastic job of getting SimJet service and sales on track in north America and in less than one year they did traced down nearly all SimJet turbines in north America and got the logistics set up and are to day providing a excellent service.
