--> Commander-List message posted by: YOURTCFG@aol.com
HI KIDS....
I had a big week planed for the Commander. Today would have
been a trip to Aurora for an appraisal. Tomorrow I had a trip to Olympia
planed for a visit to the State house on biz. Wed would have found me landing
at a
small grass strip to do appraisals on 5 airplanes involved in an estate
settlement. Oh well.
As I pushed the power up on the TO roll today, the LH engine would not
make power. I aborted the TO and after some looking and a conference with
Yoda, it has been determined that the blower has failed. The engine just turned
1400 hrs (if the logs can be believed) The good news (if there is any) is
that it happened at home and the airplane is not damaged. The bad news is I a
grounded until further notice or until i hit the lottery. jb

Jimbob,
Sorry, but I think that's ALL GOOD NEWS! When I see the subject line "A Bad
Day in Commanderland", I just get scared. 2003 especially has seen too many
emails with this subject line that reflected a loss of an airplane, or even
worse, a loss of life....in a few cases an acquaintance or friend. I for one
am glad that your trashed blower resulted in an aborted takeoff, and didn't
happen when you were, oh, 100' AGL after rotation!
Keep the faith Jim.....maybe a fresh blower will come your way SOON!
/John
