Today had a failure of my RD-1B gear drive. It couldn't have happened at a better time, I was just taxiing off the runway at my home airport. I just finished flying 200 mi. to Santa Paula to help Paul with the getting of Mike Wills airplane back into the air. Flight home was otherwise unevenful and beautiful. I didn't bother taking it apart, but will do so tomorrow. Feels like I may have broken the sun gear pin again but will have to wait until tomorrow to be sure. The strange thing is that nothing particularly stressed it.
Sorry there is not cause I can report... a little suspense until tomorrow.
