Default Jet joes?

Are these jets any good? How much thrust do they produce?

Use at your own risk....

By the time you add all the nice options that make the engine much more relaible you are only a few $100 away from the price that you would pay for a better name brand.


I bought a FTE T-500 for less than $2000 (that was before the prices were increased) and it's been running like a top and I have a phone number to call if there is a problem.


Point being, you get what you pay for...

my 2 cents worth...

Cheers,

Here is a thread on rcgroups discussing the JJ1400 from a few months back.

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=350726

There have been numerous post on various forums discussing the same thing.

I bought my JJ direct from Joe in China and he always answered my emails and even sent me a new tailcone free of charge
when I asked why mine didn't come with a single piece instead of the two piece it was supplied with

I am happy with my JJ1400, it ran straight out of the box without any extra "options", except for using my own fuel pump!

Including the starter approx 22cm (8.66 inches) long, 10cm (3.94 inches) diameter and according to the manufacture produces 14Lb of thrust.
I have not measured the thrust of mine so I cant confirm the manufacturers claimes.

If you're a beginner in turbine, I don't suggest to have it.
As I'd a painful experience in an European turbine. It's totally a waste of time.
Pay more money to get a reliable turbine such as Wern, Artes, Jetcat ect.
In fact Jet joe provide an option to those who have experience in turbine.
For me I hasitate to have it because of the terrible experience, but the price of Jet joe is so attractive.
As Jet joe appear in the market, I think the price of turbine is getting lowered. It's good news to all pilots.
I hope Jet joe can try their best to improve the turbines & looking forward to see their new products.

Best regards,
Alex
