Chuck- I definately will be at the Ultralight safety seminar this Saturday. My turbine as of last Friday is still 2 weeks away from being shipped....."hopefully"
I just read a good article about Eagle R&D in my last Expermental/Helo magazine. There are 5 guys working for them, they do all 40 of the shipments in batches. Right now they are balancing the turbines and assembling the gearboxes. Stu Fields actually did the dye penetrant test on my turbine and compressor wheels and other turbine components. I am not about to climb on them now ....especially when they are balancing my turbine wheel! It wouldnt do any good anyway. I knew this was a strung out deal when I signed the contract....thats why I cant gripe too much. I figure once I get the turbine.....then its not far off before I will have it ready to burn kerosene.
I would be watching the curling matches at the Olympics anyway instead of working on my turbine this week , if I did have it. ha
I have decided to put a building blitz on when my turbine arrives. I want it ready for the checkout before I come down to Bensen Days. I have lots of time to achieve that goal.........if I get that turbine soon.
