Come on everyone. Let's give RAM the chance to sort things out with the business. If all that has been said on this forum about RAM's business was said about my business, I for one would not be a happy camper.

I have stuck with RAM since 1999 ( actually, since 1997 when they did Turbomin's) and would not be looking for any other turbine. Yes, they have had difficulties in the past with the electronics side of the turbine, but I personaly have seen problems with most, if not all, others in the field during competitions and shows, even now. A lot of the time, the fault on turbine operation lies with the operator, and NOT the turbine and thats a fact.

I have 3 RAM's and have been happy with all of them. I sent one away last year after a total right off crash of my composite Bandit at an airshow and RAM had it repaired in under two weeks. I sent my other two away for a full service just prior to the Jet World Masters last year and they were back in perfect working order in 6 working days after a full bearing change and tail cone additions to both. Now considering I live in Ireland, near Shannon Airport this was faultless service.

I am now building a slightly larger model for the 2003 show season. It will be powered by 4 RAM's. If the turbines were not up to spec, then I would be selling up and not risking them in this new model that has to date, taken 550 hours to design alone. The cost of the model will be in the thousands mark with out turbines, so why would I risk it.

So as I said please could we give Albert and the guys at RAM the chance to at least breath for gods sake and grow up !!!!!!
