 Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 4:41 am Post subject: Exhaust Flange Crack |
 |
|
Last week while flight I had an separation of the machined flange
from the down pipe for cylinder #1, (Europa p/n exo-34b).
It was manifest by a burning smell in the cockpit and a loud unusual
engine noise but no loss in power or change in engine parameters.
I had it rewelded by the local TIG shop.
Has this happened to anyone else.

Ira,
First, it was great seeing and speaking with you again an SNF.
Looks as if this may become own of those tank crack threads, as Baby
Blue suffered a separated pipe, half way back from SNF. No real
problems encountered, save the noise and we landed within 30 miles, at
an airport that allowed us to work on her, on the ramp. Pulled out the
old safety wire and pliers and made a couple of strong cables and wired
it into place. Was enough to complete the trip without further
difficulties. At any rate, I'll be looking for a replacement for the
912S pipe. Anybody got a spare?
