I got a jet
robot797 Thu May 25, 2023 2:48 pm
I had a obsession with jet engines past year
so I got me the cheapest jet I could find (250 dollars)
its a AMT Mercury HP
and all I can say
dont get a 250 dollar jet
and turbines are fricking cool!
when I got her I made a stand and gathered all parts to start her
that does include a simple controller that takes the place of a transmitter
then I did the first test start on propane
it ran!!!!!
but it did not want to switch to the diesel fuel
dead rpm sensor
I contacted AMT Netherlands
and I got me a new sensor
and I got some info on my engine
she was made in 1998 and was sold in America
and in 2000 she got shipped to the AMT America branch for a bearing/axle upgrade
after this she never got send back
well then new sensor on the engine
and she ran
but the bearings sound bad
that is why I only have ran her for demonstrations (10-15 min at the time)
in total 4 liter of fuel
and now she is with AMT for a full check and new bearing
here are a few pictures
and I will upload a small video of the first start

One question?
Where is your fire extinguisher?
I've gone to a "jet" display and I did notice everytime they started the jet engine up, there was somebody nearby with a fire extinguisher (and ready to use it).
Probably for safety reasons with a crowd maybe?
Stay safe

It is good that you finally found what you were looking for and scored, @robot797.
Once engine is fully repaired, do you plan to put it in an aircraft? Perhaps for control line? (just a suggestion).
