RADIO CONTROL JETS - 2005/03

AWHILE BACK I discussed the effect that
the 2006 turbine-waiver-renewal
requirements would have on us. Wouldn’t
you know it? I have to make a correction
already, but this is a good one.
After a thorough review of the rules as
passed by the Executive Committee,
existing turbine-waiver holders do not have
to perform a demonstration flight in 2005
for the 2006 renewal. Thank you to Ilona
Maine for her great effort and help in
researching and clearing up this issue. Ilona
has sent this update out to all turbine-waiver
holders with their AMA renewals.

Radio Control Jets - 2008/08

I’M GOING TO address turbine reliability
and a common mistake I have seen: FOD
(foreign object damage) to your engine. The
big stuff is easy; if a bolt gets into the
compressor, you will immediately see the
damage. It’s the smaller stuff you don’t see
that can do serious damage.
