Default RE: GWS E-Starter motor problem

well.....i took off and noticed that my ailerons were opposite (no time to hit dip switches on my radio) so I got confused when
it was flying towards me and nosed it in at about 30 degrees. Prop broke and wing cracked. No visible damage to motor until you try to spin it and I noticed it didn't spin very well anymore and upon further inspection found the large geared shaft was loose. This is the 2nd time this particular thing has happened to a GWS 400 motor.

Thanks for the reply and will try to get you a pic.
