I just read on a rotorcraft conference I follow that one of the mazda powered gyros
had a failure of its New Horizon's PSRU.  Here's what the pilot of that gyro wrote
on the rotorcraft conference:

"The reduction unit was a New Horizons. The piece that actually failed was an OEM
part that had not been modified by New Horizons. I believe this is an isolated case
of a part that had a flaw when delivered to New Horizons. I plan on going back with
the same unit. I'll send the part that failed and the planetaries of to be exrayed
though."

I don't know what the part was that he's talking about, and my only knowledge of
the incident is what the pilot reports above.  I'm just trying to get the
information out to everyone on this conference.
