Xairflyer,

I concur. JetJoes do take some experience to get running on your own. I cut my teeth on turbines with a JJ1400. By the time I had it purring, I understood turbine operation.

A lot of hiccups can be avoided, as stated many times in this thread, by buying a engine from the two US vendors, Australian, UK or NZ vendors that setup and run the engines prior to shipping to the customer. A couple extra bucks saves a lot of learning/fiddling around.

And, to be fair, every one of my 5 turbines took tweeking to get to operate smoothly at my flying conditions (humidity, elevation etc.) The ECUs are not smart enough yet to 'AUTO TUNE' or 'AUTO SETUP'. They probably would need a couple extra sensor to do that.
