During 'shake down' flights we twice lost an exhaust spring, both front, left 
then
right, whether snapped or shaken loose, who knows. New engine, new springs,
new exhaust - why should this be? Applied with a string not pliers, Anyone else
had this? now wire locking but need more hours to see what happens.
Maybe its the stiffness of the new engine creating lots of movement on startup?
