Turbine Service before 25h?
Hello everyone!
I got a question: I have a perfectly fine running jetsmunt VT80. I bought it second hand with a plane, used it a bit with a trainer this summer. It has a bit more than 15 hours on the clock now. Service intervall is 25 hours.
It runs like clockwork. The only thing I do not know is how old it is. It allready has a brushless pump so it shouldn't be THAT old. Is there any reason to service such an engine before time? I got no warranty on it and the bearings seem to be ok.
What do you think? Just fly until 25 hours or until something aint right? or is it better to service these things after some years no matter what?
I am just putting it into a brand new viperjet and that got me (over?)thinking.
