.Guys here's a picture of what can happen if you don't secure your fuel
caps good. This was a rather expensive lesson for me. In the future I'm
going to attach lanyards to my fuel caps. While flying my plastic fuel cap
came off and went through my Sensenich wooden prop on my Mark 3 Xtra. I
was lucky there was a grass strip near by. Surprisingly the vibration
wasn't too bad. Had that chunk departed, it would have caused an
unbalanced condition. As it was, it just made a loud change in the prop
noise.

You might want to consider a Warp Drive for your replacement prop. If you had one,
you would have discovered you lost the fuel cap at your next re-fueling stop.

That is true, I managed to leave a heavy pair of side cutters on my wing
while testing my engine inside the hanger. The cutters hit the ceiling, but
didn't hurt the warp.

Wakataka,
Thanks for the warning. That's the first time I've heard of that
happening to the Main Ball Bearing. I have heard of the Wrist Pin Needle Bearing
Cage breaking, allowing all those little needles to fall out of place and
crunch time. I had a 377 and changed those bearings to the uncaged type.
Now I have a newer 447.
