Default 110 fz sudden stop and compression on every stroke

Hi all,

I just put a couple flights on running really good and smokey and had a sudden failure of some sort while in the air. Sounded like a glow plug popped out. I landed it perfectly.

So I checked glow plug and it is in there and looks like it is OK. I flipped it over and it seems like it has compression on every revolution. I did not spin it to start it up, but I did spin it fast without power to glow plug and it sounds very different.

Where do I start trouble shooting this one? I'm thinking of pulling the valve cover off and checking to see if I broke a rocker or something.

Thanks,
Wood
