Jet turbine reliability
The JS1, especially the one you flew, is good enough that you'll probably
never find out if the jet is reliable or not. KN At 10:31 01 June 2015, Jim Pengelly wrote: I'm considering ordering a JS1-C TJ with the jet turbine. A potential synd= icate partner is concerned about the reliability of jet turbines from a 'wi= ll it start' point of view and a repair cost point of view. I imagine elec= tric turbos are going to be more reliable because of the relative simplicit= y but you can't buy an electric JS1 or 29. Any comments on jet reliability= ?

Yeah - I would have had to try pretty hard to land out in that glider - it goes incredibly well.
