Default RE: JetJoe OWNERS thread


ORIGINAL: Xairflyer

A few months ago I detailed stripping my JJ1400, it had been sitting about in bits and I eventually got around to rebuilding it again.

I have done a detailed strip, balance and rebuild in another thread [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9458885/anchors_9463433/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#9463433]JJ1400 Turbine Stripdown[/link] some of the stripdown stuff I have taken from my earlier postings here, so you may have seen that bit already.

I used the ''Rocking Method'' for balance and it has worked really well, very pleased with that, time will tell how good it is on bearing life.
Thanks to anyone who has given me help and answered my questions Smithy in particular.

Lot of stuff has went on about these turbines but I am still glad I bought one as it has taught me stuff I would never have learned if I had bought a P70 or similar at the start.
If anyone has any questions about this turbine I would prefer to answer them here rather on the stripdown thread as I dont want it to be about Jetjoe just a thread on stripping a 14lb turbine. Unless of course the questions are relating to the work that was done.
How much was the torque when tighten the turbine nut and compressor nut? My turbine nut was loose after the first start of rebuild. The start was unsuccessful and RPM can not go up.
