Hello guys,

I had an issue with my Cermark F-16 powered with a P-60 when i passed the runway due to one main leg stuck inside and unability to apply brakes properly.
Jet landed in a sandy environment and i broke front and left gear mounts. I also had little sand inside fuselage.
Upon dismantling turbine, I removed FOD and could see litle find sand (dust) on the front part of starter while the part behind FOD and on Rotor blades, there was no apparent trace of sand. rotor blades seem to spin freely if moved by hand.

Would like to know if there is anything i can do before attempting a restart, as sending turbine to US for inspection could end up to cost quite some money back and forth bearing in mind distance. However would definitely would not like to take unecessary chances.

Thanks for your input.

Best regards,
