This morning was the first flight after my off-airport landing episode in July - Woo Hoo!
Rebuilt 13B sounds good - Thanks Ken Powell for the rotor!
I left out the Pineapple Racing intake sleeves :-)
Looks good for Copperstate next weekend, maybe even Tracy's Rotary Roundup.
Last week I had the motor all together, torqueing the tension bolts and 
one stripped out. No evidence of thread material on the
bolt. I had to take it all apart again and re-assemble using another front 
housing. Does anyone know if the threads can be
repaired? The housing is good other than the stripped bole hole.

You need a gadget called helicoil Chuck. YOu have to drill it out and re tap with
a special tap and then insert the Helicoil.
