Yea Rusty,
That damage looks like it either happened before
the engine was assembled (maybe in shipping, but the cardboard cocntainers
are pretty robust), or the motor might have "swallowed". The rotor
material is pretty soft, so it bruises easily. Irrespective,
the marks aren't anything to worry about at all. You ought to see what
happens if they swallow a split washer, or a 12mm nut!! Yee
Hah!
Hoo Roo,
Leon

Subject: [FlyRotary] front rotor
damage
Greetings,
I'm just starting to
clean up the reusable parts, and found some damage on the front (good)
rotor. Attached are some pics that show the damage. Try as I
might, I can't see any signs of damage to the rotor housing, which is hard to
believe. I'd sure think the force required to dent in a steel rotor,
would at least make a mark on an aluminum housing. These were new
rotors that Bruce ordered, and installed when he reworked my engine
originally. Has anyone ever seen a new rotor show up with damage like
this attributed to shipping?
I ordered two new rotors
for the RV-3 rebuild, and this one will go in the single rotor engine
eventually.
Cheers,
Rusty
