Today had a failure of my RD-1B gear drive. It couldn't have happened at a
better time, I was just taxiing off the runway at my home airport. I just
finished flying 200 mi. to Santa Paula to help Paul with the getting of Mike
Wills airplane back into the air. Flight home was otherwise unevenful and
beautiful. I didn't bother taking it apart, but will do so tomorrow. Feels
like I may have broken the sun gear pin again but will have to wait until
tomorrow to be sure. The strange thing is that nothing particularly
stressed it.
Sorry there is not cause I can report... a little suspense until tomorrow.

We had a big go around about that years ago.
I know you had that happen before. Do you remember
what changes you made?
You are on the cutting edge Dave with that high power turbo.
Michael Hart, You might need to add another pin on yours.
If necessary send it to me and I will have Jim Poole do it.
