RE: P70 catastophic fail?
Warranty should start day one of purchase with receipt to prove it...Nothing related to how old it is or how long it stayed on the shelf before being sold...... Go back to your local dealer and claim...

RE: Best turbine, best service?
I owned a Jetcat P80se, a P160sx and a PHT3...Have good service, but depend on who you talk...I spend 500$ in one week to repair my PHT3 starter because of 2 first bad diagnostic.....Speaking to Bob directly given me the right answer...... I now own a Jetcentral Bee, a Rabbit KS, a Cheetah and a Wren 44 in my Bergen44 magnum heli. I just bought peace of mind to not have any $$ to spend in my jet engine and the service i had for 2 small issues were outstanding... The acceleration at my location here is also much faster than the previous engine i had. Could not comment on the Wren at that point, it has never required service...and Ron is always there to answer some email quickly...

RE: Powerbox Terminal
It's impossible to have it installed automatically....Same error here on 5 different computers.... You need to install it manually: From the powerbox-systems folder under install First, install the driver for the usb interface Second, install the Java6 application Then , you need to copy / paste some files from the install folder to the program files/java folder
