Comments: - - The Garrett TPE331 turboprop engine used in the Merlins was one of the best engines I've run in thousands of flight hours without a single engine failure. Incredible bulletproof powerhouse with instant response.

I remember seeing a man walking in front of a jet preparing for takeoff. She began to suckle like a rag doll. As a hobby I don't take motors lightly, so I believe I wouldn't stand in the way of a supplied air slicer. As I always say, you can be an engineer, but that doesn't mean you're really smart. Stop getting in the way of these things because even if you think you have full control or "expertise", engines can sometimes run and go full throttle.
