Jetcat 180 RXi reliable?

I haven't been following the saga with Jetcat, so I'd like to get some feedback on the 180RXi. Is it reliable? I had a very unreliable 180RX. Thanks in advance.

Man I hope so, I've got three of the beasties which I've not put in the air yet. But I have not seen anything posted which would lead me to believe they have not solved the issues the 180RX had.

Absolutely, its a fantastic engine. Many many flights with it in my J-10. Started with Kero and switch to diesel. Only adjustment was to the throttle response in the ECU.

I have one in a BVM plug and play 1/6 F-16 with about 20 flights . So far runs great. A little slow on the spool up time so I have set the throttle response to "fast" it's still a little slow but I don't want a flame out so I will not go to "very fast" runs and starts nice.
