The guy in the hanger next to me lost his prop and front hub while flying his VW engine this summer resulting in a crash in a farm field. The crank broke cleanly in half at the front bearing just as the Corvairs were doing. Mark Jones (N886MJ) Stevens Point, WI E-mail: flyk...@charter.net Web: www.flykr2s.com
