--> RotaxEngines-List message posted by: "Thom Riddle" Roger, Where did all that rust come from? I don't live in a desert like you do. We have real humidity in this part of the world but never seen any rust in any of the 912 gearboxes I've inspected. My guess is that engine is a fairly old one that was sitting unused for quite a long time before it was installed in the RV-12. Use 'em or lose 'em. Do you know the history of that engine? -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY (9G0) Kolb Slingshot SS-021 Jabiru 2200A #1574 Tennessee Prop 64x32 The truth will set you free.
