Ernest,
Yes, I can inspect it by looking up the tailpipe with a borescope. I can also look in through the three inlets. Initially I tried drilling holes but soon realized that this was futile. That's when I turned to the side grinder. Material is .065 inconel and is supported on both ends. If it starts coming apart I can cut the ends off and try something else. Mark If you need a borescope to inspect it, there's no way you're going to get a tool in there to round out the sides. Keep a close eye on those slot corners. The worst case would be a chunk coming loose just enough to bend over and clog the exhaust. Mistral's test pilot is reported to say, "That sucks."
