well, I don't want to start another DA 50 thread, so I post my question in this one:

The other day I nosed the Christen Eagle with the DA 50 over and broke (well just nicked the tips but it's a gonner anyway) my beautiful Mejzlik Prop[&o]. Yesterday while changing the prop (this time to a wooden one [:@]) I noticed that there was some play when holding the spinner. First I thought the engine or spinner became loose, but after inspecting both none of them caused the movement. Once the prop was removed I grabbed the shaft and noticed that there is quite some play in it which makes like a metal to metal noise. Anybody have any idea what is going on here ? Could there something be loose inside the motor ? I really didn't hit the nose that hard but I don't think it's normal either, so something must be wrong. Just wanted to ask here before sending the engine in for repair or call DA. Any suggestions ? Thanks
