Even If used my hands I can not pull them out thru the augmentor. My exhaust pipes are 12" from the prop. After running it for few minutes I checked the blades and they were just warm to the touch? Somebody was using thermal tape patches to check what is the highest temps on the prop. John Slade has the same setup CZ with the turbo and the same prop for over 50 hours with no problems. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for your concern George.
