As I have seen in the test flight by installing on the Skymaster F-16,it is very powerful engine.As I know,this engine is a brand new turbine engine.Most parts are new designed by the
builder,not copy from other engines.(the builder cooperated with university turbine engine professor)Only the ECU use FADEC ,not self-design,easy to set and programming.
Most important,the builder hope to promote this hobby by lower price!
Oh Pleeaaaassseee.
I'm designing an engine and I'm consulting with a university professor which happens to specialize in miniature turbojet engines. Do you think he knows the exact details of c.c. design for the engine? Sure he knows the theory but there's still a gap between theory and practice (engineering). In the end it takes a lot of iterations to produce a working engine. They don't just "pop out" from the blue.
As far as I see there are couple of things wrong here:
1) Far east mfg. We've been burned before, we're more cautious now.
2) No history.
3) No proper website
4) A multitude of "reccomenders" who have just joined RCU and are already praising the engine as the bees knees.
5) No "real" information on the engine. Test data? Facility data?
In short, this whole deal looks fishy to me. I'd bet we'll soon see pictures of the "production facility" and all sorts of data on the engine. At this point I'd take anything that's coming from there with a lot of skepticism. Point is that to make a quality engine you need to be in the business and not just posts rave reviews on RCU.
I feel better now... Can get off my soapbox.
Hi erazz.
We agree with your point, the University is only the theoretical basis for advice, all the R & D in the factory is completed, it will spend a lot of time.
Reply to your question:
1. More caution is right, this is the attitude that our we managed engine, want to give customers a good quality of engine
2. Starting this engine the first time was four years ago, after four years of our R & D time, the engine has started more than 3,000 times,I do not know if this is considered history.
3. We plan to introduce our engines in September , web is under re-construction, The exposure of the engine now is not in we of expectations.
4.CPS is my flying friend in Taiwan, I would like to thank his praise.
5. The engine will be introduced in our web site soon.
The question for us is good, thank you for your suggestions.
