Anyone on here own the JJ 1800?? I'm curious about the spool up time.... I'm also considering another P-80 but the spool up time is sooooo sloooowww... So I'm considering the JJ 1800 as well...Thanks...
Hey Mowery1,
The JJ1800 spools up to max from idle in ~3-4 secs, which is pretty much the norm for engines of this thrust range I guess. Much of it is dependent upon EGT's as the FADEC will adjust the accel rate to keep things in check. You can adjust accel and decel rates to a certain extent but you have to be mindfull of overtemps on quick accels and flameouts during quick decels.
The P80's usually spool up fairly well, does it possibly have a problem??
Cheers,
Smithy.
