Default Jet Central Turbine Upgrades

Jet Central Turbines will now offer upgrades on all older turbines with the exception of the Falcon and Super Eagle. For these we will offer a trade in replacement option.

SP Upgrade includes new Power Pack, ECU, Sbus Cable, HDT is optional as some may already have one.
KS Upgrade includes new external ECU, Sbus Cable, Brushless starter motor. Will still use external pump and solenoids.
Gas/Propane Upgrade Includes same as KS upgrade but will also include a Kero plug conversion as well.

HDT in all these is optional for those who already have a new SE HDT.


Prices to upgrade to new SE ECU HDT not included in these prices.

Jose,

I have a Falcon, and it's under warranty, and in my name. What's involved with the "Replacement Option" ? (going to a bee 80) I'm assuming you want those 2 engines off the street. (LOL) I've had good luck with mine, but it doesn't fly too much.

You can PM me with the details.

Thanks,
David

Right, If I have a older Cheetah SP can I get it bumped up to the 36 pound SE vs my current 33 pounds?

Hi All,

Sorry for the slow response RCU is not usually my thing. For the fastest response please either email or call me. email is [email protected] Phone is 321-412-3078 M - F 9am - 6pm Est.

For the Falcon going to the Bee 80 its fine basically you send us your Falcon complete and buy the new Bee 80 for $1641.50 plus shipping.

No extra thrust officially from Rabbit KS, SP to SE but some would swear when I did mine when we were testing that m Rabbit SE was pushing more.

For Upgrade send in your turbine with ECU, pump or power pack etc.. along with the service request form pay the upgrade fee and that's it. upgrade can take about two weeks from the date the factory receives the turbine. I may also do some upgrades here in Florida.

Cheetah SP to SE can be done however getting the 36lbs is very costly due to the amount of parts that would need to be changed. Hopefully Juan will answer that one.

Same for the Rhino 36 to 45 just not worth the amount of funds it would cost. however I'm guessing if someone really wanted to pay the high price who knows.

Lastly I may only check RCU once a day. If any questions need to be answered quickly please send email, text or call.

Thanks
Jose

So the upgrade includes putting part of the ecu under the front cover and supplying the power pack.?

Yes that would be correct with that example used. This may not be for everyone but we have had a few that has taken this offer up. I had a few that were selling their Super Eagle for $1000. range and they were getting a new Cheetah with that trade they basically got $900.00 so only a $100 less than what they were selling it for..

We are also doing this to help those who want to get into the new SE line. Remember for someone with a Falcon or Super Eagle those are at least 8 to 12 years old the value is not the same as selling a newer turbine.

Default Info

I was ready to send my turbine in for update, but I can't get any other information as to how I got about it.
