Yeah, I'm trying to forget that:
OS.77 + Viojett fan = 7 flights til blown engine, but
OS.77 + Viojett fan + RPM connecting rod = 12 flights before blown engine
Doing the math, using a $500 price for an OS.77, you were looking at about $50 a flight in engine costs alone + $4 in fuel = $54/flight . Switching to turbines and assuming 100 flights before scrapping an engine and $3 in kero per flight dropped the cost to about $33/flight. At least that was how I justified the first turbine purchase to my wife (now ex-wife). LOL
