Dear All
Has anybody had any dealings with this Company/Engine.
We are considering using the FS160 in our Eurosport. It is
considerably cheaper in this Country than a Jetcat P160.
Although we have a Jetcat P120 in our Lightning, which is very good indeed.
Regards Phil G.

We have been trying to get a hold of Robart for 3 months, they will not return our calls at all. We need parts for the Funsonic turbine. As supplied by Robart it is not AMA approved, you cannot fly this at an AMA field due to there being no second fuel shut off with the engine. The one time we did get a hold of E.K. at Robart we were told that it is AMA's problem if they changed the rules and Robart will do nothing about it.
I finally got a hold of Funsonic direct for parts, they informed me that they would ship me the parts 2 weeks ago. Within an hour of their responce to me, Robart was calling us and was very mad. E.K. told us that he would make the cables that day and get them to us. Alas, still no cables and now funsonic will not respond to me. I am afraid that Robart told them not to ship me the parts. Is this not just great service for a Funsonic turbine, this is what you can expect from Robart. I told my customer to return the turbine to Robart and buy a Jetcat.

HI
Phil,
Being in the UK, you won't have to deal with Robart. Thorsten is easy to deal with and they are responsive. If they are late delivering something, they will at least call you and try and make it right.

so i dont see the problem
as for a "extra "solenoid just buy one if you want to be absolutely safe
the ecu has the output for it
