Easytiger,
Thanks for the info. I also appreciate you sending along the instructions you have. I will have to order and ecu etc. from JetJoe. I send the engine to a friend to be checked out. He has a balancer. I really want to confirm the engine is balanced before I run it. I understand an out of balance engine can be dangerous.
The one I am getting from you. It was balanced etc. Ran fine? I can't wait to try it.
Thanks,
DW_Crash
Can't hurt to put it on a balancer. I heard a LOT of talk, since the Jetjoe came out, about how they were "balanced all wrong" and how they were going to fly apart. Some two years later, I have not heard of ONE flying apart. And I have seen other engines, namely RAMs balanced the same way, flying for years.
I have also not heard of any of them being way out of balance from the factory. Mine was not.
This one ran just great, no balance issues whatsoever. It's the latest model, and certainly much more debugged over the very first ones that had some real issues. Actually, some of the first ones ran fine, some had problems. But the recent ones seem to all be good. If you have a friend with a balancer, might as well take advantage of him, it's a little peace of mind.
