Default Welcome Home Jetcat's

Look what I got today........
My two P-160SX were returned from Jetcat today and they look OUTSTANDING. They look bran new....well they were bran new and now have all new parts.........so still bran new. I also have all new on board equipment to replace the items lost in the crashes. Here are the before and after pictures that will really show what a great job they did with the repairs. Hats off to Bob Wilcox who was great during this process. He and his team do great work!!

Wow, they look nice!  I wonder the parts count that could even have transferred over to the new cans?  Congrats on a quick repair.

Another amazing thing is that in the case of the F-5E, the turbine was recovered about 400 feet forward of the impact point. You know that had to be a rough ride

An F-14 has to be the ultimate RC Jet Experience.
Repairs took about a day for both turbines. The turn around time is in the 5-6 week range since they are swamped right now.

Yes I have another F-4J on order indentical to the one I lost.

Thesecond mount..........remains to be seen........

Dam dude you really know how to tear some sheet up!!!! LOL! Bob and his gang have always been great to work with! Had one of the first Jetcat Hammers (P-80) and never looked back! I have had some tasty offers from other companies but couldn't do that to my buddy Bob. Hope Everything works out well and see you this summer in Winamac?</p>

Hi Dom:

You really scare me. I have also a 12FGA transmitter in 2.4 Ghz. purchased from Tower Hobbies, and I lost my SM F-16 in August 10, 2008. But asit has Eagletree telemetry installed, the recorded fligth file showed that receiver battery voltages dropped to 4.3 volts for one second, just before the crash.

Have yo checked your receiver batteries?

I am close to maiden my new F-16 and I am really concern about a new issue with the electronics

Guillermo
