Hi guys.

'Sup in JJ-Land?

Haven't fired my Tubes up for quite a while now, and I'm getting withdrawals...[X(]

Things have been pretty much full-on in my world lately, and I been enjoying getting out there and flying all sorts of things lately (no Turbines but).

Interesting reading on that JJ1800 - I wonder what it could have been that was blowing the turbine blades off? If it was all balanced up nicely each time, could there have been some kind of concentric being introduced at the higher end RPM? Something no-one would pick up during a static balance, but enough thou off-centre to make the tips of the blades catch somewhere once it was under burn load?

Or maybe a nasty hot-spot once she got up to full power?

Would be worth seeing what it looks like from behind in an after-dark spool-up...
