Ok Ed
I see how this works! Twice in La. And no calls!! I wouldn't do that to you
if I was in NC. ;-)

Leg longer! {:>)
No, I drove to Louisiana to pick up my sisters and then to
MO and then back to LA and then back to NC - would have much, much rather
flown - as you can imagine

your RV?

Ah, I opened up my Laptop for the first time in a long
time - and apparently there were some messages still in the send box and out
they went - sorry 'bout that.

Hey, Dave
Glad you didn't further challenge my Glider record
{:>).
I was thinking that perhaps the stress of the
Reno Races might be a contributing factor to the gear box problem.
Particularly if the shear pin was designed for a N/A 13B. Anyhow,
hopefully, it is that simple a cause and you find no further
damage.

over the waves and reclining in a lounge chair in the cool morning
breeze

Subject: [FlyRotary] RD1B Failure
Today had a failure of my RD-1B gear drive. It
couldn't have happened at a better time, I was just taxiing off the runway
at my home airport. I just finished flying 200 mi. to Santa Paula to
help Paul with the getting of Mike Wills airplane back into the air.
Flight home was otherwise unevenful and beautiful. I didn't bother
taking it apart, but will do so tomorrow. Feels like I may have
broken the sun gear pin again but will have to wait until tomorrow to be
sure. The strange thing is that nothing particularly stressed it.
Sorry there is not cause I can report... a little suspense until
tomorrow.
