Lynn,

I'm with you = on that=20 memory thing, sadly my memory has never been that good to start=20 with.

I digress=20 - again. I spoke to Gordon at Mistral and they felt that the = pick-up=20 was causing a vortex, pulling in air, that would account for foaming. I = can't=20 quite remember but didn't they use a 2 tube arrangement, you mention = feeding the=20 rear rotor?

Question what = is the FD=20 twin turbo?

I didn't know = about the=20 flat screen in the baffle plate, I just thought it was a bigger screen, = I don't=20 know why I thought that.

Why was = Mistral having=20 these problems, they weren't running the engines hard or expecting too = high HP=20 from them.

Why is it no = one else=20 is having these problems OR should they be anticipating=20 problems.

George (down=20 under)

I hope to = hear from=20 Lynn = on a theory=20 as to why this valve fell out of the engine and what the =E2=80=9Cracers = solution=E2=80=9D might=20 be. This must not be a common occurrence. If it was, engines = would=20 be blowing themselves up right and left.
