Hi,
I once had a SimJet 700. It was installed in a Savex L-39 Albatros. From the very first start I had problems with that turbine, so I ended up returning it to the Sim Jet factory. Got a S.J. 3000 instead which is a reliable and steady workhorse.
The 700 was discontinued due to various problems...and from what I hear, the factory has stopped producing model turbines! No service, no spare parts anymore..so my advice is: Buy a Wren 44 Gold or equivalent from another make.

Very true Pete, however Martin is more clever then most of us regarding turbines. Would be fun to see what he can do with a SJ 700 :-)

Hello Martin,
It is always difficult to read between the lines. But that was a good reason. If you are collecting...in this case turbines, you also need the bad ones to complete the collection.
I wish you luck in your efforts to "dig up"a SJ 700.

Best regards
/Pete

This one was for sale for weeks on E-Bay. May still be available. It is new, if expensive.

I have one that I could sell or swap for a Wren 44.

I bought it second hand from Christen Diffusion in France in 2006, not yet used due to lack of time, as new.

RE: simjet 700
 
I have to agree. The simjets were/are good engines. I was the guy that recently sold the 700 on RC Canada.

I still have a few 2300 and 3000's. They run well with good thrust, spool up time and fuel economy.

I think some of the older versions could use an upgrade to v10 ecu.

Yes...Try to get ahold or Lahrs from Simjet. He may be able to offer you some of the old stock of new engines.
