Smithy,

Did you ever get a thrust reading on your jj1800? I will be puting mine in a FB F-15. It should fly the crap out of it. However, I wonder how it would do in s SM F-18E. The F-18 is bigger and heavier.

Yes, my FADEC is in a black shrink tube - looks very similar to yours, except it's an AU-545. Thanks

Tom
