Good to see you guys putting your heads together & working through the problems with these engines. Isn't that what a 'forum' is about? An exchange of ideas?

This thread was to support, assist and to pass some turbine knowledge to JJ owners. Any valid JJ bashing was from JJ owners who had mastered the defects and the lack of Quality Assurance-Control at the factory. Some improvementa are now becoming apparent in that there are at least some basic instructions given in the box. Some day the Chinese fuel pumps will either improved to be adequate or be dumped completely. If the Chinese seleniods are only valid in one direction, then in time someone might take a marker pen and put an arrow on them to show the right orientation. Also newer JJ turbines do seem to be being test run before despatch, instead of relying the new owner to test them out.
That said you pays your money and you take your chances, if it doesn't work out you can always come here. FWIW running 900 (15hrs) minutes is a hell of a long time flying in the air, before reporting back here. I'd suggest any JJ owner who had 120+ minutes flying was fully operational, though many who fly JJs weekly will never post here.
