Hi

Whilst flying today my exhaust down pipe on no 4 cylinder developed a crack as
shown in the attached photo. 

I have done a search of the list and found one further history of this type of
failure on g-tern. This was back in 2012 but there wasn't any conclusive answers
as to what has caused this type of failure. 

My exhaust is a CKT engineering system fitted to a rotax 912uls with woodcomp 
sr3000
vp prop, europa XS. The exhaust system has had approx 30 hrs use before
this failure. 

I have sent the owner of G-tern a PM through this forum to see if he can Give me
any further information as to possible cause and what soloution's he has had
to rectify the problem he had back kn 2012. 

If anyone else could help or provide any possible answers to this type of 
failure,
it would be much appreciated. 

Many thanks
Donald
