Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure how to check the 'Feathering Spindle'...mainly because I don't know what it is. I'll see an experienced heli guy this weekend and have him take a look. If this is something that can't be checked at the field, some input on how to check the status of this part would be appreciated...in the mean time, I'm going to look through the Raptor manual.

Thanks again
