Default P160SE-is it safe to keep flying???

Hi

I just saw it now[X(]

I have sent this e-mail to JC in Germany. Is it safe to kee flying??

Regards

Nuno



Dear Sirs

I have been flying a P160SE for arround 1 year and last night I was changing the plug and to my surprise the plug bushing is loose inside the turbine. I bought this turbine in Airfighter.de.

It seems that the weldings of the glow bushing came loose.

I have arround 70 troubless flights in my F18F and I was not expecting this to happen, specially in the most reputable turbine brand like Jet Cat. A couple of years ago I bought a P60SE brand new that I had to send it over to you because the bushing was not properly aligned.

I saw the same thing happening to a P160 SE from a friend of mine last year and he had to send the turbine over to you.

Can you please let me know if it is safe to keep flying and how shall I proceed from now on. Shall I send it over to you?

Best regards

I think you know the answer to this question based on your statement...

I know its a bummer, but something loose inside a turbine means send it back...
