Hi Guys,
Ray:
I am not too sure if I would trust a weld job on a part like that. I think I would always be looking at that engine with trepidation. I have always flown with P-tips, however, the guy I bought it from hadf been flying for a couple of years with those big crank breaking wood props, and it might be possible that it caused a weakness in the metal, and that it was luck that let me fly it for two seasons before finally shearing.
Tyler:
Sorry I couldn't get back to you in time, wish I could have helped out. I might have a spare for you in the near future, and could get it at least to Alexandria. Give me a couple more weeks to see what happens at my end, and I'll get back to you.
Cheers,
Karl
