ASW 27 Flight Testing Video Clip

Hi Chris, Interesting modifications, congratulations to your achievement! Are the gelcoat-discolorations on the tail caused by the heat of the exhaust, or is this a result of fuel contamination? I remember that in some turbine powered gliders, the engines are slightly angled against the fuselage centerline in order to keep the heat away from the tail. If I am not mistaken, this was the case with the LS4 jet retrofit offered by M&D (https://md-flugzeugbau..de/en/areas-...rieb-mdtj-42/). Christoph The discoloration is a build up from a number of takeoffs and heat is not a problem. The diesel fuel is mixed with turbine oil for bearing lubrication which soils the tail. A wax/grease remover is needed for removal.
