It runs like clockwork. The only thing I do not know is how old it is. It allready has a brushless pump so it shouldn't be THAT old. Is there any reason to service such an engine before time? I got no warranty on it and the bearings seem to be ok.
What do you think? Just fly until 25 hours or until something aint right? or is it better to service these things after some years no matter what?
I am just putting it into a brand new viperjet and that got me (over?)thinking.
Do you have a place in mind for service? I dont think Jetmunt currently has a usa service center. Of course your location is not listed and you may be outside the usa
I have a 10year old VT80 with 23 hrs but I can tell it will soon need bearings.
