It had a problem which was fixed but when put back on the plane, didn't help. The prop was pulled to ship to the prop shop when the mechanics saw the crankshaft plug had come out and was "tilted". They are now trying to find a way to tap in this "freeze-plug" back into the crank. Apparently it is right behind an oil transfer tube that requires the crankshaft out of the plane to reinstall. I hope that they can simply hit it back in. > I was leaving Paducah, KY Sunday when my prop governor (I hope) > stopped working.
