To all that might have an interest in Jetjoe.
I have a Jetjoe JJ1400 installed and flying on a Boomerang perfect.
In fact, so good that I purchased two more Jetjoes for another
Boomerang and an Greatplanes F4. If you are new to turbines,
a Jetjoe might be to big of a step because you need knowledge
to correct some problems that arrises, like lines kinked, connectors
leaking, and glow plugs that blow. All these problems come with
other engines, but people over look them when it a name brand.
The engine itself is a great buy, as was Simjet when they first
came out. I am using the original Jetjoe pump on the new engine
with no problems, but I have only one flight so far. The other
Boomerang uses a Moores pump which works great every time.
The Jetjoe and Boomerang is a perfect match, and can be
outfitted for under $2400 if you have your Transmitter already.
Any 6 ch. computer radio will do, but more ch. are better to
decrease the "Y"'s you will need. I have had over 20 flights on the
first Jetjoe/Boomerang, which is with the Simi FADAC (manual start).
Do not let others stop you from finding a low cost turbine, and enjoying
the thrill and excitment of Jets. Keep in mind that a Jetjoe is not in
the same league with Jetcat or AMT, but it will take you from point
A to B, every time and at a lower cost. If you can handle the speed,
an even better combo is the Jetjoe/Stingray and even lower price.
