Subject:= [FlyRotary] Eggie 3rd Generation PSRU failure again, etc.

One would have naturally= thou= ght that a "3rd Generation" PSRU would be the "cat's meow"; but that eviden= tly isn't the case, and it almost cost a pilot and pax in an RV-9A their li= ves!  The below report (see link) also states that there have been qui= te a few failures of this PSRU, and one came after only 160 hrs of usage!&n= bsp; Amazing the "snake oil" that is out there and ready to hurt people... =

I hope to get after the 13B FWF on = my RV-9A this winter and have it ready for an engine run in Feb or March wh= en it warms up a bit.  This FWF package is the one that I bought from = Tommy James back in 2005 or 6 (has it been that long ago?), and he flew it = for 60 hrs or so in his Glastar.  It is really time to get it finished= up I think!

Fly safe out ther= e!
