I think it is complete useless to buy a jetjoe at this time. You get a proved autostart working turbine for as little as 1595€, for example here: http://www.hobbydirekt.de/product_in...roducts_id=501
Who wants a jetjoe then anymore ? If you can get 16lbs proved turbine for nearly the same price ! And you also have well proved Projet ECU !
Nothing wrong with the Gaspar Espeill ECU provided with the Jetjoe, is there?

The funsoninc you are talking about costs $2050 in USD. That's about double a typical jetjoe. To some guys, that's the difference between having an engine or not.

Also, there are P-80 Jetcats, which have even MORE power than the funsoninc, selling brand new for $2050, too. With the Jetcat controller that is more "proven" than the Projet one, not that it matters.

Good advice from GSR, though...if you are not familiar with turbines to some degree, or willing to learn, get something other than the Jetjoe, or make sure you have good help available.
