Default Wet Start

Does a wet start stress the engine alot, or is it ok.

Starting my Sonic 120 as my verry first turbine, I did not fill enough gas into the onboard tank. Fuel was injected into the turbine, but the gas flame went out too early for the fuel to ignite. Next startup, was ofcourse a wetstart, and it was spitting flames out the exhaust because of the unburnes fuel.

Does this kill the turbine if this happens too many times ?
What are the temps during normal startup, and then with a wetstart ?

Thanks SJ.


Flames look exesively wild because it was dark....
