RE: V7 - It Works (worked!)
Tony the clutch bell siezing on the shaft happend with my v-6 also, you need to oil it even though it does get some lube from the motor. I will bet that the wrist pin has moved and did catch on the cylinder. before flying it again I would pull off the back plate just to check, or if you don't mind it happening again fly and see what happens. LMH folks had told me that the pin moves and catches the cylinder which in fact snaps the conrod. This is waht happend to my 4 or 5 that I had "not sure now how many". The LMH is a great little heli to learn to fly on and you get a lot of engine tunning experience as well. The LMH is what got me to where I am now however if I had started right into a 30 size with some help I would be some what farther a head by now. Alan
