AMT "across the pond" was well representd. Maybe AMTUSA / US MicroJet couldn't afford to come all the way from southern Ohio ?!?!?!?!?!

Guys,
we all know there was no take over. I believe it was just a name change, kinda like going from "mongoose" to "viper"
Same players just a new name.
I think part of the problem is they have bean counters. They don't seem to make their money in the model turbine world. It sucks for us but that's the way it is for now. I hope it changes as their engines are great running engines. We just need some support/ repair from time to time. Maybe John will chime in.

I don't think there is much John L. can say regarding USMJ that many folks would believe or put any faith in.

I most recently purchased a second engine from US Microjet and have been very satisfied with the service and response provided by J Ligons and his team.

Sorry to see them fade away.

So who offers support for their engines? Carlos? AMT Netherlands?

They do provide support, it just takes longer than other manufacturers, probably because of their military associated work.

I have been told by crediable sources that USMJ is selling engines to the military for the same price or nearly the same price as they do to or did to the R/C jet hobby. If that is true with all the support involved, how bad a business deal is that??? No wonder they can't support their R/C jet hobby products, as well as other comitments.

If you could sell an engine- without an ecu, not worry about a repair, (they usually get blown up). And their customers are not blasting them in some crybaby forum, who would you rather sell to?
I'm not here to defend them, I've had an issue or two along the way. But I chose to talk to them and not cry here.
I hope the support improves too. We will just have to wait and see.

WELL INQUIRING MINDS ARE WANTING TO KNOW WHY THERE WAS NO SUPPORT AT FLORIDA JETS
THEY TOOK OVER AMTUSA BUT HAVE NOT GOT ANY SUPPORT FROM THEM?
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THEM?


OH AND WHY DID THEY NOT CHIME IN ON THAT OTHER THREAD

Do you really own and operate AMT engines or is this a troll question? Who gives a rat’s ass if they were at FJ or not. They are not the only micro turbine manufacturer that did not attend the event. If this is not a TROLL QUESTION, and you own and operate their engine and really want to know of their solvency, why not just pick up your phone and give them a call. JMOHO and please take it FWIW.
