Re: TurboProps
Paul is building a tucano with the wren and I'm building a raven with the jetcat , then wren powerplant is serviced in Indiana and gearbox goes to the uk. Jetcat services complete in California. I'm not at the install stage of power so I can't comment much on that.. Jetcat has always treated me well and Ron in Indiana has outstanding service as well. I'd choose one of those two.

Which one do you have Ted??? Pauld has shared some of his thoughts in his Tucano build thread, but didn't want to derail it, LOL

Thanks Kevin!!! Paul provided some great feedback to me in his thread. I like the JetCat idea also. I'm a true fan of JetCentral so far....Eric has treated me more than fair on my pair of Cheetahs. But I hear the JC Turboprop may not be up to snuff??

Again... Not about which brand is better... Just looking for some discussion and thoughts!

Re: TurboProps
To be honest I'm not a fan of jet central , but that's my purogative . Key thing to me is serviceability if you nose it over or have a prop strike the gear box needs to be looked at. I've dealt with both Ron and Bob , both are great but the wren has to go back to UK for gearbox work. The jetcat provides more oomph too.
