Hello Chad,
I've read in another forum here at RCU (about a supposedly new JetCat turbine) that the EvoJet Booster 90 is no longer available. I've also read on that same forum that the EvoJet brand is being ''substituted'' by Hammer turbines. Is there any truth to all these statements? They do not make much sense to me, given that Hammer and EvoJet are, to my knowledge, 2 distinct products. Also, while you are at it, perhaps you could enlighten us on the (near and long term) future plans from EvoJet here in the U.S.
Thank you in advance.
Beavis,
I apologize for the slow reply, I am traveling across the country right now.
It is true, the evoJet 90 is no longer available. It is in the process of being redesigned right now and will emerge slightly larger. However, that release will take a back seat to the new evoJet 220 currently being worked on. In regards to the Hammer IQ / evoJet issue, Hammer IQ (Did Kramer) used to assemble the mechanical portions of the evoJet engines, with Arno Hausmann at evoJet providing all of the electronics. evoJet and IQ Hammer have since split up, and evoJet now produces their own 130 / 160 size engine, completely in-house, with no dependency on other turbine manufacturers. Our new 130vx and 160vx possess a new milled compressor, higher efficiency turbine stage, a re-designed combustion chamber, and a new reinforced starter housing. It has taken our work-horse motor to the next level.
Our plans remain the same; to offer the most reliable motors money can buy.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Chad
