Hmmm... Funny. I can't remember the last time I saw a thread like this about Jetcat.
OS fuel needle, ''maintainance'' fees every 25 hours, $60 to ship(!)...

Keep it simple folks, go to the jet meets, talk to folks about what to buy and from whom.

Sorry to stir the pot. (But it's kinda fun!)

Raf,

I should have mentioned that mine is an older Falcon. Shortly after I added the needle valve JC came out with a larger restrictor and Eric would send one to any customer who asked for it. The more recent engines now have a gas % parameter in the ECU which the customer can adjust.

How much does Jetcat USA charge for a bearing change and 25 hour maintenance? The guys I know have been hit a lot harder than $250, or $310.

I made my statements because I thought someone reading this thread may benefit from it. We all have our brand preferences and unique experiences. I don't feel the LTW is all it is hyped up to be, but on the other hand what kept me from considering Jetcat was the amount some of my friends were paying for repair bills and the constant updates. Not trying to start a brand war here, just trying to be objective.
