Thanks for the heads up. Not quite
sure what I will do with the information.
It seems to me that when Ed Smith had his "incident" there was
some discussion on LML about similar crankshaft separations in the
original Malibu engine / prop combination that our Lancair set-up
is based upon. I even recall seeing a photo of the front of a
Malibu with no prop. Instead it had a gaping hole in the
crankshaft showing where all the oil leaked out. There may be
additional information from the FAA or Continental if you add in
the Malibu fleet.
