As your airplane has very few hours, this failure is surprising. May be there is something we can learn from that, especially were to look and what to check during inspections.... Remi Guerner F-PGKL ""Sorry I could not make it as my exhaust is broken and I have not had a chance to repair it yet."" ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:36:18 AM PST US From: "Steven Pitt" Subject: Europa-List: Exhaust pipe Remi, The front port pipe on my 912S engine had the pipe and bell fitting (the flange that is bolted onto the engine) come apart at the weld (see picture as this explains better than my words). I realised I had a problem when taking off and I heard a noise that I had not heard before. The pipe was able to rattle in the flange fitting but did not fall off and was only observed once the engine cooled and I was able to grab the pipes and shake them. I did not loose power but aborted the take off due to the change in noise. The engine has done 120 hours. Hope this helps.
