A long time ago these shafts were plagued with breakage. Supposedly there was a
fix. Anyone have knowledge of this issue?

Never knew there was a problem with Homer Kolb's redrive and
prop shaft, much less a fix.
The prop shaft was pretty husky for a 35 hp engine and a 50
inch wooden prop.

I agree but....
In my ultra stars documents is a hand written letter by homer himself talking about
the prop shaft failures. He stated there was a fix and most we're upgraded
but I'm looking for some details here to decide whether I need to address mine.
It sure looks beefy tho...
A shaft failure of a pusher would be bad indeed.
He also states that eventually the cuyuna cranks will break from belt tension.
Looking for some info on this as well.

Do you know when the US kit was purchased? I bought mine
Feb 1984, one of the first US kits to be shipped with
factory welded fuselage and components. Earlier versions
were shipped as material kits with builder required welding.
Don't know when the ULII02 replaced the 430, but may have
been a factor in possible crank shaft failures.
