| Subject: | Re: Avoiding a Flip Over? |
Thanks for the feedback and sympathy. I had not been a regular visitor to the
forums, but I do receive the daily digest. I was unaware of the Matco "fix"
but I'm a bit more confident in the AntiSplat bearing replacement, even though
it's a bit more expensive. There is no adjustment of the bearing tightness and
it's sealed for life.
I think one factor in all of this is that anyone who flips over probably places
a higher priority on safe technique.
I have the good news that I was able to get the prop repaired, and the engine has
no visible interior damage. The Magnaflux testing will be the definitive answer
but I'm looking at a lot less cost for the engine and prop than I feared.
$1,000 for the prop and $2,000 for the motor. Initial fears were $3k for prop
and $5k for motor.
You probably live with regrets too. Mine is "why the heck didn't I overshoot if
I was going to land half way down the runway?"

I couldn't disagree with this statement more. I think one might say people
who haven't flipped over probably place a higher priority on safe technique.
