Hi Folks:
My airplane has been down since I returned from Lakeland the first of April.
During that flight I discovered the carb boots were starting to fail and the
Titan Exhaust System, 147.0 hours, was also failing. Was fortunate to be
able to make the remainder of my flight home safely, after spending a day
and night waiting out thunderstorms at Headland Airport, Alabama.
Called Titan about my problem. Jay told me to return the exhaust system for
repair. This morning I found out they made me a new system modified to my
specifications. That was mighty nice of them to do that.
The major problem was the small stop welded on each of the 4 exhaust pipes.
There was not enough area to prevent the exhaust springs from pulling the
silencer inlet tubes into and/or over the exhaust pipe stop. I asked them
to weld a 360 degree bushing stop on each pipe to give more bearing surface,
which Jay said they did.
A month is a long time to wait on a repair, but a new modified system takes
a little of the sting out of that long wait.
