Juggernut Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I used to love the TFE 731’s on my (as in crewchief) Lear 35. Didn’t care for the Aeronca thrust reversers though but they weren’t that bad. Very easy engine to maintain and the oil SOAP lets you know far in advance if something’s not behaving well within the engine. That way, the pilot(s) doesn’t/don’t get an unpleasant surprise. I think Garrett got acquired by Honeywell a bunch of years ago but nothing else changed from what I remember. The TPE 331’s on the other hand were a pain because every time the crew shut them down, we’d have to go out and spin the props to cool the engine down to prevent the rotating group shaft from warping.

Yes- big pod from the big-brained folks at one of our local defense contractors.. The lab owns all of the jets and helicopters. cheers P MARU5137, Oldbaldguy and GreyGhost 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This particular pod we were testing cannot get wet; so we had to stay clear of clouds all day- P GreyGhost and MARU5137 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
