Starwood Edition
Turbine Engine
The Starwood Edition, Jakadofsky turbine has been designed for scale modelers wanting
the reliability and performance of a Jakadofsky turbine and are looking for improved flight duration as compared
to the higher, power output available in the PRO series. As new scale helicopters and fuselages are emerging,
the Starwood Edition turbine is a perfect balance of power to fuel economy for scale models.

The Jakadofsky turbine is an AMA approved engine for use within North America. This
is a complete system that comes with the components for complete remote starting, operation and shutdown
from the radio transmitter. The onboard electronic control system automates the complete control of these
processes on the engine. Two different types of fuel are used during operation, a gaseous butane/propane
mix for starting and liquid Kerosene as the primary operational fuel. The engine is first started with
the propane/butane that burns until the engine is at a sufficient temperature and RPM to run on the liquid
Kerosene. After transitioning to the Kerosene, the butane fuel value is automatically turned off.
The Jakadofsky engine operates more efficiently as the PRO Ecu (electronic control unit)
only needs to regulate the engine speed 2-4K to cover all flying manuevers. This intrinsic design avoids
large engine RPM changes to control the output to the helicopter. The engine also comes equipped with an
intake screen to avoid FOD (foreign object damage) that prevents debris from entering the engine which
could severely damage the internal engine components. All around, the Jakadofsky turbine engine is a
better design for the emerging turbine helicopter marketplace and several helicopter companies, in
addition to ourselves now offer mechanics designed for the Jakadofsky turbine for use with their
helicopters.
