628-8000 Dear Mr. Hall: When I purchased and had your low
thrust detector system installed on my 58P Barron, I had never
anticipated using it, however, my first flight after the return home
from the installation was one in which the LTDS paid for itself many
times over. In departing a 3800 foot strip at 150
feet, the upper deck pressure line blew off, reducing the power in the
engine to approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of total estimated output. The quick
notification of the LTDS turned a potential disaster into a minor
incident. The cause of the problem was a simple 90 cent pressure clamp.
I have since had all pressure clamps in the airplane replaced with screw-down
type post clamps. It is beyond me how Beech could put such a flimsy
retention device on such a high-pressure item, however, they did. Thanking you again for your development
of the LTDS, I remain Sincerely
yours,
