Default RE: FOD

I fly in the desert.
Lots of sand...



One of the local guys have a 5 year old P-80 with 100 hours on the clock. It had never been to serviced since recently.
I sent the engine to Jetcat Germany for a major overhaul about 2 weeks ago.
They changed the bearings and said that they were old but still serviceable...
I send all my engines to Jetcat for servicing on the standard schedule. Nothing special if found.

So basically same feedback as Thud Driver.
Don't worry too much about the small abrasive particles that go through the FOD screen.
