RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D
No flying out this way. Spring is the windy season and a gusty 30-50 mph is the norm. I decided to put new bearings in an old .40 K&B. This is an old design with a removable front bearing housing. Well, I got the bearings installed in the housing and heated the case so the rear bearing could slide in. The case was a little too cool and the bearing was balking at going in. No problem I thought, just more heat and draw it on in using the four mounting screws. Easy does it now. Heat/screw, heat/screw, almost there, just a bit more. Snap! One of the ears broke off the housing. $13 bucks for a new housing plus shipping and handling. Crap.
