VERY Scary and expensive

My TW 190 decided to go bang! I still can't look at the hole with out thinking what if...

OMFG did you lose a blade or summat?

My word!!!!

Thats bad mate, Gutted, Was it a blade? Or did something go threw it?

A few more showing what's left of the fly wheel...

Dunno the cause, blades both intact, bearing now seized but seemed to be OK before the BANG. Being fed with clean clear willow..

Has it done high hours mate- thats piss poor!!!!

1300hrs..

I bet there was some seriously soiled undies!

Gutted mate, Like you say, Will be expensive to repair

Sorry to hear that. Is it insured?

if you need any bits i have a tw190 with blown engine the chute will cost you 200 plus on its own flywheel will be espensive bearings are easy to change your self.

For what its worth.....

I had this on a 150s a few times. What happened was the alloy fins had worked loose. Once was incorrect torque (I think) but the rest seemed to be the leading edge of the fins had lifted slightly (or had debris under when they were fitted). I assume this because the dusty residue on the flywheel extended under where the fins were.

I always balst the fins and flywheel when refitting to avoid this happening. It seems you only need a tiny gap to let the air under it.

Glad no one got hurt mate
