Rebuild of an AI-9 APU Gas Turbine Day1 HD

I had lots of fun running my AI-9, but now its time to turn my attention to the duff one. Lots of work over the last year and now its time to find all those parts and start the re-assembly. My earlier video striped one down in around 4 hrs (approx. 30 min video) but putting them back together is a little trickier and takes way longer and this project definitely took longer. Once on the bench I worked on this one for about 3 days and the video was getting a bit big. So, 3 days = 3 separate videos.
If you have an AI-9 then this will be gold, if not just enjoy the ride as I breakdown into detail the build process, cleaning and assembly that will help with any jet engine project.
Have Fun😊

Very good Derek well done!

It's quite interesting seeing such a basic compressor design, it really helps understand how they actually work.

[@derekbeacroft]

Thanks,
The compressor is much larger due to it creating additional air for starting other engines rather than just thrust. But hay, who doesn't need a bigger turbo wheel :)
