Default DF's for the average guy

After reading about OS discontinuing the 91 & 46
DF motors, maybe the DF is going the way of the dinosaur. Not everyone can or wants to buy a turbine, not taking anything away from those who do or can. To be sure, there are probably enough
motors and fans out there, if the owners are ready
to part with them at a reasonable price. Or you could try one of small (15/18 size) DF that seem to be appearing now.

With the dwindiling supply of these motors, why isn't the Jett Fan 50 a consideration at least for the 46 sized models?

From the Jett website:

FAN JETT® .50 R/C w/o pipe $275.00
Order Here

Short Pipe (with engine order) $25.00
Order Here

Short Pipe w/o engine (also fits K&B) $50.00
Order Here

Long Pipe (also fits K&B) $60.00
Order Here

Remote Needle Valve Assy (not R/C controlled) $25.00
Order Here

One-Half Inch (12mm) front end extension (for Turbax I spacing) $5.00


I'm just dreaming about DF models at this point in time so there may be a reason this engine gets no attention.

Yeah. Nobody is flying the Jett. I have not heard of anybody having any success with it.
Also, if you read the thread to the end, the OS engines have not been discontinued...Also, the 15 sized jets are a great way to get your feet wet. There are more of them on the way, too...

Jeez. For god's sake, read the whole thread.
Nevermind, forget it. All the OS DF engines are discontinued. You're right. And they are never coming back. And DF is dead.

Thanks

That's just because they have not yet updated the status, which should now read as temporarly unavailable. Anne-Marie Cross confirmed in a recent thread that OS will indeed produce a new batch.
