I actually feel a bit sorry for Phil. He's a nice guy and a gifted turbine engineer who is just trying to make it in a very competitive turbine market. A thread like this could do a lot of damage to his business. The thing is, I can not name a single major engine manufacturer that has not had a turbine failure apart from bullet proof Sophia’s and JPX's. Turbine wheels fail for loads of reasons and not just because they are of poor quality.( and im not saying the wasps wheels are poor quality)
A little note to hill seeker. Maybe you should have thought twice about raving on about the wasp at this stage. It just gives people ammunition when things don't go perfectly.
Take it easy.

Well put Jason, many other manufacturers have had engine failures of one kind or another, i guess Rutter the nutter was quite right in stating that one of the wasps has had a failure, although if any critisim could be put then it would be just the way the thread on a whole (including mine) has been written.
using my thoughts of what has happened to the engine i came up with the idea that maybe the ECU caused the fault, my idea was more than likely incorrect as the reply from Gaspar gives another explanation as to the possible cause of the failure.
lets all try and get on and hope that the reason for the failure is found and recified.
sometimes you learn more from failing than suceeding.
