I agree with all the other post's.

I did have Alberto do some work on my T500, but it was like pulling teeth. I could not get ahold of him initially and after I did it was somewhat iffy if he could get the work done on the turbine.

As I am somewhat new to the turbine end of the hobby, I was not aware of Carlos at RTI, until after talking with Frank T. He advised that I should have my work done at RTI. The only thing that I can say about Carlos at RTI, is positive and positve. Fast returns, answers the phone and has a wealth of info and good advice that he shares with you.

If anyone is interested in a RAM 500 (Kit or assembled) let me know I plan on listing soon for a very reasonable price, I want to concentrate on one brand only.
I will consider all offers

I had problems with modellbau in the past. I buyed one the T-500 and don't run. I ship to Carlos RTI and solve the problem. The RTI is the best choice and he supply me all parts and jet accessories here in Brazil.

CARLOS RTI ( www.rtiturbines.com ) , is the best in RAM, FTE, T. and all turbines, if you have any RAM or similar ( 750 size ), is possible upgrade to RTI TURBINES, change your turbine for a ROCKET!!!!

I got ahold of carlos (threw email)... He said that he doesn't have any parts to sell individually other than some 'used' parts.... That's the main reason that I was trying to get ahold of modelbau. You could actually just buy the parts. Can't afford to send in the turbine right now & get a bill for $400+ instead of $65....

I've always had excellent and reasonably priced service from modelbau.

Although I no longer own a T-500. I have not used them in awhile.
