Is there any feedback from users of this (new ?) turbine ?
Price is very attractive.... 2200 Singapore dollars is just a bit more than 1060 euro / 1450 USD...

Jet Lucky Turbines appear to be the JetJoe Turbines which are sold under this name in China and Singapore. A friend of mine saw them at a trade fair in Beijing several years ago.

I think the JetJoe guys will confirm that JJ uses the Regal ECU. The specifications (dimensions/rpm/thrust) are the same as the JJ 1400 and also our MW54 - not very surprising since the JJ was originally a copy of the Mk1/Mk2 Wren. These green-fronted engines have caused us a few problems as some have been advertised on Ebay as Wrens.

Wren Turbines

A friend thought he would save a few bucks on one of these 'bargain turbines'. They were briefly advertised by one of Australia's biggest distributors.

Feedback? Be affraid! It flew a Baby Boomerang (just) but was not a stunning performer when it did run. After a painful six months of fiddling, modifying, trip back for repair etc he bought a Jetcat P-70. Which he now admits he should have done in the first place. His conclusion, a $2000 engine is not good value if it does not work properly but a $3500 engine that runs perfectly, flight after flight, hour after hour is good value.

No doubt the Jet Joe fan club will post to say how wonderfull they are, the JJ owners thread makes for interesting reading (if you have that much spare time). Have a look & make up your own mind.

One day, with some development, they may be a good thing (the engine they are copied from is one of the best) but from my friend's (bad) experiences I would say there is no such thing as a GOOD cheap turbine. - John.

I would shy away from this engine. You get what you pay for, and how long the engine would last is an unknown. I would spend a few more dollars (I DID!) and get a good proven engine like a Wren or Jetcat or Artes etc. As stated above, piece of mind in terms of performance and headaches from problems is really worth its weight in gold.

Hi guys,
I'm from Brazil and looking for more information about JTL turbines. Do you know about the prices of the 14lb and 16lb models Does this turbines comes with all components and parts or it need something else to run on a jet

Thanks,
