I have sent a turbine in for 100 cycle inspection,minor repair,(no power to glow plug).They have had the turbine for about two weeks.So far they have not gotten back to me and failed to give me any idea of how long it will be.My ??? How long are you guys waiting for service and or repair,what manufacturer is your turbine.
Thanks,

Usual turn a round from GE or Garrett is about 30 days.....
Depends on what mfg,where is the service ctr is ,How and when shipped .What might seem like a minor repair could actually be a major one. Anyway, In my dealing with Jet Cat USA , I usually get it back in a week to 10 days . And believe me some of these were basket cases.

Forgive me for asking...
What turbine has a 100 cycle inspection? Most all I've seen are rated for 20 or 25 hours.

Dave

just sent in the P-70 to JCUSA. was quoted 3 week wait time before it gets looked at.

I destroyed a Rhino during a bench run once and Jet Central had it back to me in about 9 days better than new. For regular service checks, it's about 7 days round trip.


Beave

Simjet USA - 5~6 days turnaround

Jetcat USA - 3+ Weeks

These are the only two I've dealt with.

its a Modellbau t-500.Manual states after 100 cycles unit must be returned to Modelbau USA for inspection.This was not really my turbine of choice,but I bought RTF in Boomerang.At time of purchase I was unaware of 100 cycle inspection.It is definently something I will consider when buying another turbine.I think it has about 13 hours at 97 cycles.After 97 cycles the ecu quit sending power to glow plug,so I sent in 3 starts early. I am just a little worried that communications from Modelbllua has been kind of slow.I don't want a miracle just want to be told what to expect,good or bad.

Beave,I have a new Rhino bench ran two three times putting it in Eurosport,very close to first flight.Kind Of why I would like to know how long on the t-500.If the boomer is going to be grounded for a while I will get on the Euro and get it done asap..I have not ran it enough to preach how good the turbine is,but I felt I was very imformed during the purchase process and have gotten back very quick repsonses to answer any ?? I had.
