The report seems to suggest that a papertowel was left in the engine compartment and that clogged the turbo. I had often wondered if it were possible to design a cowling which would be easily opened for pre-flight inspections. I always wondered why this wasn't in the original design (probably to reduce drag) but I would think that somewhere on the LML is someone who has an answer?
