Hi

Today at the field, while I was starting my P160 SX turbine, but forgot to open the Festo manual ball valve before start-up. During the start-up sequence I opened it up and due to pressure build-up in the fuel system had a wet start.

The pipe is a bit discouloured and it as 2 small boses. The soldering joints are ok. Should I replace the pipe or can it handle more flights? I can post some pics later on.

Also the F4 seems to build up quite heat in the under rear of the fuselage, due to exhaust. Elevators and underside of the tail seems to heat a bit. Is this normal?

The plane and the pipe are from earlier kits. Don't know if there was an improvement in SM pipes, but it sure should handle a wet start

Regards

Nuno
