To be fair it still wouldnt prove anything since you could no doubt find pictures of failed bits from any manufacturer. And it cant be every engine as many run fine and mine is an example of one (after a little *expected* fine tuning).

The issue is really just the blatant copying.

But how exactly are the USERS at fault here? If a turbine is for sale and available on the market people will buy it. The majority probably buy because of price and have no idea that they are copies of the wrens or other engines. Its the manufacturer that is at fault. You cant blame consumers for buying something thats on sale!

Cloned stuff that is SOLD as a "fake" such as JJ isnt so bad as say Rolex watches or Memory cards (ebay is full) of products claiming to be originals. Wren really would be upset if ebay was flooded with Wren Turbines that were fake copies!

I fly helis too. I have a TREX 500 at 399 quid. You can buy them for 199 on ebay and they are copies that really are pretty good! (I bought one for spares).

De burring the holes is an example of the kind of setting up I refered to earlier when I mentioned that JJs are not for the artf "new" crowd that now fly toy planes... Its an obvious technicality that I would have attended to before ever running it. Its only a couple of screws to check everything out. Takes about 20 mins to strip examine adjust a few bits as needed and rebuild it.
