Found another poorly made part. The wheel bearings are junk and need to be replaced.
On my 16th flight the right main came apart just before rotation so I had to get off the throttle and let it run off the runway and it ripped both mains and mounts out. Bent the nose strut pin also... So back to repairs. Only have 3 weeks to get her ready for FLjets. Going to be tough.
Not sure where to get replacement bearings from. Ibremoved the other wheel and all the balls just fell out so that one was also about to let loose.
