jet central, wren, amt.....

What do you think, will they follow jetcat for the price reduction?

Wren Turbines USA

My Feedback: (39)

Wren Turbines USA began lowering prices back in January......

WrenTurbines

This is a case of JetCat following others, not others following JetCat!

Wren prices have always been competitive, and the fall in the value of the British pound over the last few months has meant price reductions on our engines. Several other manufacturers (both within and outside Europe) already had lower prices than JetCat anyway, so perhaps they are just keeping up with the market.

It's good news for the customers!

I just ordered a Artes Falcon, so prices will drop the day after I get it.

And you also got an excellent service, support and the only brand engine with a real Life Time Warranty. All this with a true thrust output.

If you compare thrust for thrust, the p-80se is $500 cheaper than the supersport and have 2 pound more of thurst.[8D]

Couch Potato

Yeah, but the P-80 is the size of a house, weighs a ton and might take a whole flying season to get serviced/repaired. [:-]

I bought a Wren 160 last December for under £2200, or approx US$3080. It was already vastly cheaper than the JC.

Doesn't sound like AMT USA / US Microjet will be around much longer.

The boys from AMT Netherlands are doing a great job!!!! Honest, easy to deal with, they do what they say and have a great product with many happy customers.

Description
evoJet BOOSTER 90 - the Beast - small, light and impressive. The ultimative power stuff for all fuel savers without loosing the jet flying-pleasure. List of small to medium-sized jets (single jet up to 14 kg = 31 lb):
CARF-Flash, Rookie, Mig-15 or BOOM-ERANG-Sprint, Elan or TOMAHAWK; ViperJet or PAF; JetCo, T-33, U-2A, Sting a.m.m.
The extraordinary jet is the BOOSTER 90 (twin installation - up to 25 kg = 55 lb), in big jets like MIBO; A-10 or Skymaster; F-4 Phantom or JL; F-18 Hornet.

The evoJet Booster series of model turbines works in a similar fashion to full-size jet aircraft power plants. The engines features an electric starter motor and a new electric kerosene burner (SFL12V), providing full controlling the engine startup from the R/C transmitter. There is no more dangerous propane gas needed. NEW, is a Single Fuel Line and a rock-solid 12V kero-burner system. No more second start-fuelline needed !

All processes are supervised and monitored by the JETRONIC-Vx Engine Control Unit, which constantly sets all the operating parameters to the optimum values. All the auxiliary electrical components, i.e. fuel pump, kerosene igniter, starter, valve etc., are powered by a lightweight lithium-manganese battery.

The latest precision CNC and laser technology is employed to obtain an unprecedented level of manufacturing precision, guaranteeing that the turbines provide high performance and a long effective life.

Each set also includes a display and pro-gramming unit (Engine Data Terminal) featuring an illuminated alpha-numeric LCD; it can be plugged in and disconnected when the engine is running, so that you can read off the current operational data and adjust the settings if necessary.

In addition to the momentary operational data such as exhaust gas temperature (EGT), rotational speed (rpm) and thrust (Throttle), the unit is also able to display statistical data including total turbine running time, rotational speed and temperature statistics, number of starts, battery voltage etc.



SFL12V - ceramic kerosene-burner for fully automatic engine startup with no propane gas and no separate start-tubing.
Combustion chamber and turbinestage made of Inconel high-grade steel - to ensure fastest throttle control and longest operation.
Aerospace-aluminium parts for lightest design combined with highest tightness.
Engine sensors (mil.spec.) fully integrated and therefore best protected.
Precision balanced rotor for best running performance spares the ceramic-hybrid bearings (abec9).
Ball beared startermotor with neodym-magnets for quick engine startup.
Mini-JETRONIC-Vx ECU - extra lightweight and with powerful firmware - reliable and over 5 years 'ripened'.

Technical specification: Thrust: typ.9 kg=20lb @165,000
Weight bare: 950 g = 2.1 lb
Diameter: 91 mm = 3.6 inches
Rev speed: 48,000 - 165,000 rpm
Exhaust gas temperature: 650°C - 750° C
Fuel: 250g=8.8oz/min Jet A1
Lubrication: 5% turbine oil in fuel
Maintenance
interval: 50 hours

This is my first turbine and all the research I've done over the past few months leads me to agree (and hope) with all you said.

Its just my luck there will be a price reduction next week after it gets to the house.

It won't make me regret my purchase, just the timing!!

And what about the Merlin 90 ?

Certified minimum full thrust: 95N (21lb) at 152.000 RPM


Diameter: 90mm (3.5�)

Engine weight: 1010g (2.2lb) (including mounting strap)
Airborne weight: 1,200g

Fuel: Kerosene + 3% - 5% oil (synthetic 2T motorcycle oil or turbine oil).

Pressure ratio: 3.1 to 1

EGT max: 620ºC

Massflow: 180g/sec

Fuel comsumption: 350ml/min at 95N (11,5oz/min at 21lb)

200ml/min at 60N (6,6oz/min at 13,1lb)

Price: Gas Start version 1.800€ excluding VAT

All the engines I have tried ( 5 so far ) have given me a nominal thrust of 100 N with peak EGTs as cold as 570 °c.
The version I am running right now on the Phoenix is capable of 110N. Gaspar is working on a new compressor design that will improve the reliability at these level of thrust.


I believe that this one is setting the industry standard right now. Not the Booster anymore...

Mavrik!

And what about the JC Rabbit. Basically identical to the merlin 90 except it looks better!!!!!!!!

All you need is the correct thrust to the correct engines output .

My Feedback: (57)

You will not be dissapointed. I love mine more and more every weekend.
They nailed it with that little sucker.

What we need now is a Jet Central Falcon sized turbine that can put out 30 lbs of thrust. I'm sure you guys must have plans of using the same technology on larger engines, right?

J.F

Pity the UK guy who sells them is some bloke in his bedroom - I'd get more rights buying one through ebay!

I'm in the market for an 18-20lb turbine and when you take out those that are sold through a retail premises, those that are serviced in the UK, your pretty much left only with one choice, which of course is the most expensive one
