Upkeep Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Hi All Im thinking of splurging on a gas turbine engine from https://www.stirlingkit.com/ https://www.stirlingkit.com/collections/turbine-engine does anyone have any experience with this company and with the SWIWIN range of engines ? Thank you Carl Edited January 11, 2022 by Upkeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul De Tourtoulon Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I was just looking at the Vee 90 twin, when he takes the side cover off to look at the gearing and turns the engine over,,,,? watch the gears and shafts 'wobble',,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyGnome Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Not entirely convinced a whacking great cross-head screw is best engineering solution to securing a gear..... interesting little display item though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave windymiller Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) RCjet international did a review of the swiwin 80 in Apr/May 2021. No complaints if i remember correct. Xicoy or jetsmunt and you cant go wrong is my view! Just looked at Stirlingkit website. $27 for an enya#5 glow plug (not even the popular #3!)- Wow!

dave windymiller Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 One real advantage of xicoy is that they have employed Mike Murphy (ex Wren) in the UK to do repairs and servicing on them. My jetsmunt had to go to spain and is sat in post /customs for the last 2 weeks and yet to arrive at destination! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
