I must not understand someth= ing, why are you putting a solenoid on the
turbo feed line? It seems like a good way to ruin a turbo.
Tim Andre= s

Tim, I am putting the solenoid there to be used in the event of anothe= r turbine failure (John Slade had two and I had one - all the same).&n= bsp; In all cases, it would have been possible to fly the aircraft indefini= tely were it not for the loss of oil out the exhaust.
 
The solenoid valve will be activated only if the turbo is already bust= ed.  The switch will be one of those with a protected switch - will pr= obably look kinda cool on the panel.  :-)
