Smoke in the cockpit, fuel feed questions, and then the gear won't go down. This is the long description of the events that led to an emergency landing on the fourth ferry leg from Quinten Cook's Turbine Power Solutions to the owners place in San Antonio Texas. Follow along as I walk through why I did what I did and let me know what you think.

This Walter turboprop equipped carbon fiber Thunder Mustang and I met several years ago in Chino California. When we met the airplane was dusty and out of annual in the back of a Threshold Aviation shared hangar. The airplane had sat patiently while the owner advertised the airplane for sale. This drooling engineer dork was super excited about the opportunity to work on the airplane. After six months of work and ~20 hours of flying I delivered it to the new owner in Colorado and didn't hear much more.

Some of those flights from 2016 are documented here:
