That is just the reason i got rid of the jet-joe . Their quality is good, has definatley gotten better since the first ones and the engines are safe but mine was putting out 10.5 lbs.. and it was a 1200 that was supposedly converted to a 1400.. YES!! $1550.00 is a GREAT deal, IF you are wanting a 10lb motor.. Not so great if you try to put it in an airframe that needs more or were expecting 14lbs..

The reason i am posting this Now as opposed to 6 months ago is that i was not for sure if it was just MY motor as mine was converted by me from a 1200 to a 1400 or if it was all the motors that were not up to snuff as for as the thrust ratings go,,

I have seen only 1200's that were fitted with the new parts on the test stand and the highest numbers i saw were 11.25 out of 4 , The norm was the 10 to 10.5 that so many of you are seeing...

i only had limited access and have never seen a 1400 STRAIGHT from China on the stand. MAYBE the 1400's are putting out more, i can only guess.. I also have heard that the ones the guy in the UK builds are doing better... Russ
