Marty,
Dean W told me he will be carrying the Festo line of fitting for a reduced price (over the competition) try and contact him.

He didnt say any particular models, just that some new ones are to be coming out...

First of all, if you dont see anything evident, unbolt it and run it on a test bench with the minimum (only a tank, short line ect..) It's always the first step of ANY engine problem( i mean when it's not easy fixed directly at the field)

jets

Claude- I reckon using the K.I.S.S.principal during a jet models set-up is always the best option. The more complex a model gets the more maintenance and possible potential problems arise. These turbines once set up generally are so reliable now days, that I find mainly airleaks with the retracts and gear doors etc. that frustrate me the most! and seem to materialize only when I get to the field...

Fetso

G'day Ed, I was looking for the regular Festo tubing, connectors and shut off valves etc needed to plumb general turbine installations...I will have to check out for correct part numbers etc.
Can you recommend a Fetso URL that shows these items we use along with part numbers? then I could be specific about exactly what I need...

Cheers-

Hi Marty

If you give me the tubing sizes and what kind of connectors/valves you want, I can work up a quote since I have most of what everyone uses in stock or a day away.
