Perry,

   I picked up on the same item, at the end of the report.
One doesn't get galling of the rotor bearing surfaces from 
lack of apex seal lubrication.  Plus, the oil pump itself 
exhibited galling.  Sounds like he lost his oil pressure.
If he'd only be flying 1.25 min., that pretty much limits 
it down to a leak somewhere in the path to~from the oil 
cooler.

   If y'all have any doubts about the security of your oil 
path, now's a good time to make certain that nothing can 
easily come loose.
