[QUOTE=1CE;2355668]...what are DT specimens... QUOTE]

Test specimens for destructive testing(DT). NDT, or non-destructive testing would be something along the lines of magnafluxing, x-ray analysis, eddy current, ultrasound, etc, which would leave the tested item intact and presumably still usable for its intended purpose. Some specimens I made were out of new wheels that they were trying new heat treating, forging methods or differenct materials on, some were on well-used pieces that they wanted to see what the yield on the materials was after so many cycles, and some were for failure analysis on components that had been involved in an "incident" and were suspected of being a contributing factor. Most were machined into a typical dogbone shaped specimen and then broken to get yield data. All are serialized so they can be traced to the individual forging and mapped to be able to identify the location and orientation on the forging. Some DT samples are made out of a sacrificial piece of material on the raw forging that is removed, machined and tested to verify the yield of the piece, such as for tail-hooks.

Thanks, Super Explanation ! J

Gerry your the only guy that makes me feel lazy. Looks great cant wait to see it in action.

Ya, But it looks more like my girl in KW, but we both like "dist" beverages anyways how is the engine's alinement down on the Skater's engine rails ? boy hasn't it been cold the last few days J

Keith... Ya want to know really. I got nothing else to do


Hows your beast doing?

Jay the alignment looks good in height aswell as distance to
#6 flange.

I am trying to honor the original holes, But it is becomming more of a PIA. Then its worth I may mount angles to the mounts then Mount them to the rails and re drill holes where
ever I want.


Here is some pictures of the Fuel shut down solenoids
This is how we shut it down.

I also used the brackets to mount the throttle catches
If you look closely I modified the Arms on the Turbine
Fuel control to accept the standard throttle Rod and ball joint
Found on your typical carbs piston deals.

Gerry, g\GREAT photo's u-missed your calling. Anyway are the fuel line fittings for #10 or #12 line, is that some type of knob on top of the shut off solenoid ? early on u-talked about fuel types what are your preferences in order and what will u-most likely end up using ? D/G mix ? thanks J how about a nylon lock nut on the throttle ball joint.

KNOT-RIGHT

The throttle ball joint is threaded and the Arm on the turbine fuel control I threaded 1/4-28. The ball threads into that
and I have a serated washer behind the nut which in this case
acts as a lockn nut cause its jamed up on it.

-10 feeds the Turbine fuel control and I am combining
all the returns to a -6 back to tank.

To bad its freakin 22 degrees out cause I could lower
one in.

Hey G, you gonna have a "red over ride button" like Geico.

KNOT-RIGHT

Yeah if Mr. Haggin loans me his "Black" American express
card.

Great video. Great promo for Aruda also.

They can afford to let the pyrometer climb the ladder to keep the spectators and fans Smiling!

Dude if my pyro goes over the min safe limit rest assured
I will be cutting fuel and keeping her spooled.
