Sincerest congratulations!!!

Many said it couldn't be done and you have done it, well done.

However, you need to take some marketing lessons from Sandy and Elliot about promoting your stuff. There is barely a mention of it on the JDE web page. What a wasted opportunity.

I have some questions

1) Is the head speed controlled
2) If not, how did you get round the 2000 rpm AMA head speed limit
3) If it is controlled, what is the range of head speeds
4) How much is it
5) Can I have one and if so, when?

Use this opportunity to promote an excellent product. A real 3D capable heli for a start.

I did the same with his page and sent him an email yesterday to find out a little more, which probably started this post.

I too forgot to ask how much
and how soon ----- which depends on #1 for me


And it is a fine product as is all of Dennis's line.

Hi Dennis,

best congratulations for your new product and welcome to the club of turbine heli manufactures ! This is what makes this hobby so fantastic for all, that there is always room enough for improvement !
We also try hard and harder to get things working and I am sure you know of what I am talking about,....which most of the guys who have nothing else to do than to criticize sure do not know...!

Anyway, I would really wish, that we all would have the chance some day to come together and have some fun sharing our latest creations...

I guess, together we would have the best chance to get the ultimate model for the experienced heli flyer.

I joined a big Jet Event two weeks ago, where almost all "jet" manufactures took part. I learned one thing: most turbine manufactures and even the kit manufactures which all are in the Jet Aircraft business talk to eachother; share technical informations, help each other while starting their models, simply great.....

If you would have the chance to have a look at all the heli manufactures...., the only thing all are waiting for is that the competitor might have a crash...what a silly behavior...

Anyway, again, I wish you the best luck with your new product !

Take care, Elliot

JDE turbine heli

Thanks to all for the best wishes, when i posted the AMA approval all was set to go with the same information on the JDE web site, but as my web master did not get to upload the info this didn't happen well can't do it all.

Some information on the system there is a new smaller lighter gear box new bearing system and other smaller changes, the head speed is limited by the gear ratio and closed loop monitoring controller.
Availability of the unit, now that the AMA approval is finished i am looking to make a kit of parts to install the unit in a helicopter all you pilots have any preference?
Price it would depend on if the unit were sold in conjunction with the heli and installation kit or just the unit only i have not set a price yet but it will be competitive with like systems on the market.

Sounds great Dennis
I vote for just the turbine /gearbox setup as I already have to many 60 / gasser size birds that would take a turbine.That and I already know the mechanics end and would only have to learn the turbine part.I also think you will get more sales by keeping the price down with the upgrade type deal.Guys just like to up date ==== make some nice purple anodised parts on the turbine and it will sell like heck

Hi Larry
Yes i just want to offer a mounting upgrade kit for a given already manufactured heli, i am kinda partial to polished aluminum myself.
