Hey Paul,

My JJ1400 has really been a pleasure to own and operate in my F-16 from Tam. Mowery1 has also purchased a Tam F-16 for his new JJ1400 as well. Just trying to help him out from my own personal experience with the exact same airframe and powerplant setup.

Anyway, I cannot say anything derogatory about my JJ1400. The plumbing under the front cover is well organized, the one piece tail cone looks and performs great, and it has never failed to start up on the first try, turn less that 160,000 rpms at full throttle, or cool down to 100 degrees celcius.

It has flown my Tamjets for 6 successful flights.

I hate to hear about your 3 fouled experiences with Jetjoe. Were your 3 turbines bought last year, the year before, or at different times over the past few years? It seems from what I've read about these turbines, that the first several production runs were not worth purchasing. The ones that I have seen on test stands and in aircraft earlier this year at Florida Jets performed as advertised (including the one a fellow club member purchased the same time I purchased mine).

Just curious,

Greg Hames
