To those who have delt with artes service, what reason did the turbine have to go back to the factory? Just wondering because I am looking at my next turbine now I fly the FTE 500 and modelbau has great service, but I really want a turbine I don't have to send back quite so often.
I have a Rhino and two SuperBees..........................ALL THREE ENGINES START and RUN FLAWLESSLY. I've never had a problem except for one time the Rhino did'nt want to start.
Has run fine ever since.
Two Superbees were sent in for servicing............(sand ingestion) both engines serviced and sent back out.............8 days flat.
These guys definately stand behind their word on the service and I have to admit................Felipe........is the only guy I know that will literally get on a plane from Mexico, fly 1500 miles and come to your doorstep to make sure you are satisfied (he did'nt even see my jet fly, just came solely to make sure the engines performed as advertised and left.)...........and I'm not the only one he's done this for. Fast spool up time, plenty of thrust and low fuel consumption. I try to fly what will work for whatever project I have going,(and I fly everything, does'nt matter who makes it.) These engines and the support that comes with them have been good to me. I would definately get another one if I needed it for an application in the future.
