First off I would like to say that I own 2 RAM engines (500R and 1000R) and both work flawlessly. If I have ever had a problem with one of them I have called and have gotten an answer to my problem right then or within a day or two. The last time I had to send my 500 to them for repair after a crash I sent it in on a thursday and had it back the following tuesday. Now that is service. Now I have only been in turbines for about 18 months now and when I first started out I asked everyone online what the best engine to get was and 90% stated RAM was the best. Now these same people all say ram is crap and have switched over to JetCat (I will not mention names). Now I don't believe in following a brand blindly but, just because BV does not promote and engine anymore does not mean it is worthless. Hell he used to be a dealer for AMT but no more, he also used to be a dealer for RAM but no more, now he is a dealer for JetCat and everyone is saying that jetcat must be the best engine. Have you ever thought that maybe he is making a little something off the top for being a dealer of their engines???? Hmmmmmmm....I wonder. I have seen the JetCats in action first hand and have to say they are a wonderful engine, but I have seen problems with jetcats as well. My next engine will probably be a JetCat 160 only for the the thrust and autostart capabilities. If it was not such a pain to haul all the stuff to start an AMT I would buy an AMT. Which by far has proven itself to be the most reliable engine on the market today. I have also seen the JG Eagle engine run and have to say it is very impressive, espcecially the very low lag time from idle to full thrust.

As you can tell I am not a REP for anyone but I do believe in reporting things as I see them. Hell every company has problems and RAM is no different. Every turbine engine company has had problems sophia, turbomin, AMT, RAM, simjet, etc., give JetCat some time and I am sure you will hear of some problem with their company or engines.

Don't get me wrong I am not wishing bad on anyone or anything I am just a realist, and I am not bashing BV for promoting jetcats. He is a business man and if he can make money by selling jetcats then I hope he sells a million of them, that is what running a business is all about....making MONEY. I also do not want to start a flame war here so if anyone has any problems with any comments I have made here today then please contact me directly.
