Hi all
I bought a JJ1400 over a year ago and have had good success with it. After about 60 litres of fuel through it, I was suspicious about the bearings and stripped it down for a rebuild. JetJoe was very helpfull via email and sent the parts I ordered within a week (to Aus). After I gave them my engine number, Joe advised that I change out the CC as well. This was good advice as the old one had burnt out, the vaporiser sticks were the old non inconel curved style. Rebuilt with the new cc, bearings etc and replaced the tailcone to the wren style, now is back to great thrust and has a much stronger sound. I plan on buying another 1400 and the new 1800. Without JJ I would not have been able to get into turbines, 12 months ago a P60 here in Aus would set you back A$ 4000.00, JJ was half the price and now are even better.
What did the parts cost for this upgrade/repair after 60 litres of fuel thru it? How many hours on it?
