lets not start again this started of so well ,some of the cc do move when you take the plug out ,we had a order the other day and some bloke wanted two plugs in it .i liked the idea of that no movent on cc and more chance of the gas lighting
It's very hard to reconcile these two things here.
Here we have the actual, official UK rep and service agent, as listed on the JJ website, saying that the movement of the CC is normal, it's a bit of a flaw, but not insurmountable. Three or four different paying JJ customers found the same thing.
And here we have this seventeen year old kid, who is NOT listed as a JJ rep(the site was JUST updated again) saying it's not normal, that it must be a problem with the way the owner assembled it, and all you have to do is THIS and the problem will be fixed. So, are the engines flawed from the factory? Or is this person, who has rather limited experience, perhaps mistaken? Maybe we should be taking advice given by some people with a big old grain of salt? How long before somebody loses an eye?
I am hearing different stories from different people here, and I would tend to go with Angsley Turbines, who actually have experience as enginers, and who have actually flown and serviced various brands of turbines.
I absolutely, totally, see Sean Reitmeyer's point of view, too. At this point, how many turbines have been sold? 100? More? At THIS point, all the basic bugs should be out, and the engine should be a useable product for the consumer. A couple of glitches, sure, but if a lot more people are still having problems, then it becomes a little scary.
Me, my engine is a very early JJ1200, I've had it for a long time now, I had an expectation of problems, but by now, they ought to be substantially debugged.
What is a modified and tested autostart JJ1400 costing from Angsley? Something that will be guaranteed to run right out of the box?
What mods are you doing? What do you think of the unmodified engine?
