RE: JetJoe OWNERS thread

Hi Sean,

The "new G" model Kingtech engines are indeed red, they also differ with the inclusion of "onboard" solenoids which now live under the front cover, the new K100G and K180G just has a...

RE: JetJoe OWNERS thread

Hi Tony,

Your 3000's should be good to go as long as the bearings have had a small amount of residual oil on them and no corrosion has set in. Give the rotors a good spin by hand first to see if...

Jet-Joe is now run by a new owner, Jason. So far he seems to be pretty easy to contact and talk to via email.

RE: DX9 issues

As George mentioned, in the second screen on the data terminal, with the throttle and throttle trim both at min, it should read 0%, with the throttle trim at max it should read ~15-20%, with trim and...

RE: 170F first run

If you're at or near sea level where the air is ok, expect to see at least 37-38lbs, they pull nice and hard.....and are extremely quick to spool from idle to max for a larger turbine. I test ran one...

RE: New JetJoe J-Junior 4lbs turbine

Hey Airraptor,
Yes, I guess you could use alternate wave washers, not a bad suggestion at all. They are very small though, and to be honest I've not looked for alternate suppliers. Once the JJJ's...

RE: New JetJoe J-Junior 4lbs turbine

The P20 is a much better quality engine, it also is a bit larger and substantially more thrust.

Setting the preload on the Junior isn't the issue, it's the preload wave washer itself which...

RE: New JetJoe J-Junior 4lbs turbine

No, the bearings are good quality GRW items. The problem lies with the preload system and poor balance from the factory.

RE: K170f start issue.

Hi All,

I just wish to show my appreciation for Barry, he went out of his way to help get the 170 up and running. He was able to help me with advice and suggestions via PM and the next start was...

RE: K170f start issue.

Hi Barry,

Thanks for your reply. I've got a fair amount of unburnt fuel pouring out the exhaust during "pre-heat" and "switch-over" and she won't ramp up, obviously too much fuel during this...

RE: K170f start issue.

Thanks John,

You've been a great help. I'll get an "A123" 3s onto it and see how she goes. Although a freshly charged 2s lipo wasn't causing any dramas that I'm aware of..!

Smithy.

Another couple of things to check, connect the HDT and make sure the temp is rising during the gas ignition phase....before it switches to the fuel, if the temp isn't rising enough it won't get onto...

K170f start issue.

Hi Barry,

I have a K170F which is playing up during the initial start sequence. I can see the rpm fluctuating up to ~25,000rpm during the normal 4,000rpm ignition phase, of course this causes...

RE: New JetJoe J-Junior 4lbs turbine

I'm afraid the Wren clutch is way too big, the JJJ compressor nut is only an 8mm hex and the nose of the nut is ~6.5-7mm, so the bendix drive "O" ring needs to be smaller than that.... Martin Lambert...

RE: New JetJoe J-Junior 4lbs turbine

Yeah....The JJJ idles @ ~99-100k, max's out @ 240k. They require ~65-68k to self sustain depending on ambient conditions....however, what Frema says it quite correct, the small Atomic electric motor...

No, titanium is not much good for this sort of thing, we're talking high temp stainless type materials such as Inconel, hastalloy and the like. John is correct about the "Skypipe" from several years...
