They lasted for a bit more than 600h. The pushrod got bent and damaged from spinning around, so it is no longer possible to see exactly what the design looked like. I would like to go with a proper thrust bearing, if I can make it fit this version. Any photos would be great, send them directly to me at paqs345@gmail.com if the attachments to the group don't work. Thanks for everyone's input.

I can send that to Sonja. Barry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Thomason" comcast.net> Sent: Monday, July 27, 2015 6:17:30 PM Subject: Re: Pulsar-List: GSC inflight adjustable prop bearing failure Sonja, The only real bearing fix is to use a true thrust bearing. I will try to fi nd the photos I made of the modified push rod and bearing cup. It is actual ly very easy to do. I have hundreds of hours on the same bearing. Use a INA DL12 bearing. Barry, did I send any pics to you that you can send to Sonja?
