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

Just pulling your leg Ed, enjoy your vacation. Did you two fly there in
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.
Send from Lake of The Ozarks resort - looking out
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.
