RE: Frank Turbines
Andy, I'm not sure if you knew, but the AMA used to Certify turbines, and turbine manufacturers had to go through a process to become certified. Then it was dropped to any engine that is currently in production. I'm not current on all the rules associated with this, but I think even homebuilts now are allowed without certification, but don't quote me on this.
Regardless, if the turbine is a manufactured product from a company that is at least partially in the business of building model turbines, you are AMA compliant.

No kidding? All I knew is that from what I've seen they don't do it now. Had no idea that they used to. I can't imagine why AMA would put themselves in the liability zone of certifying anything. Just imagine the potential liability if they certifed an engine and it blew up and injured someone.

The AMA only approved turbines. They never certified them.

To a lawyer "approving" is "certifying" Once an agency approves something, they place themselves on the law suit chain. It's only going to get worse once Chairman and comrad Maubama gets in power.
