Hi guys,

Have you guys faced issues where the top engine plastic cover got melted little bit on top of the turbos?

Something is definitely wrong it shouldn’t be overheating

As a precaution you should wrap the pipes and maybe fabricate a shield too

I wonder what would happen if an engineer forgot to put on the heat shield on a spacecraft coming back from the moon?
