Looks good James. Who’s doing the work?

Robert T

That's awesome James! I love it

I had Murmur do the paint and interior and Stevens aerospace did the panel.

Looks great! Thanks

Very Nice James! Still waiting on my invite to take a ride....

I have owned it and sold it. It was originally N506TF. Tyson Foods here in AR.

Wonder how many chickens made that happen

No stink of chicken plant in that puppy yet!

I presume what they mean by "front turbine" is the main fan. Having that separate isn't something you expect.

Wow, what were the indications of the engine failure? Was it an immediate lost of thrust or something more gradual; thinking yaw? Where were you in the takeoff roll?

A friend owns the Klingon now. The impeller broke (5th known failure ever I believe), which shot the fan out the front and chucked the HT blades out the cowl. Pretty rare failure that occurs on spool up for take off. There's an AD on the impellers to check for manufacturing defects. The motor was about 400 hours until overhaul but you can inspect the impeller at the hot section too.

Here's the old AD: https://tc.canada.ca/en/aviation/refere ... y-advisory

It only applies to certain impeller part numbers.

All of these failure events resulted in penetration of the aircraft fuselage.

"Hull breach, captain!"

"Worf, shields up!"

This would be no fun if it occurs in flight. It has the potential to cut control lines, critical wiring, and depressurize the airplane in addition to having an engine out. You would be facing multiple critical emergencies all at once.
