--> RotaxEngines-List message posted by: "Roger Lee" Hi All, Here are some pictures from a Rotax 912 gearbox. This is being torn down and examined from a prop strike on an RV-12. You will see a gearbox clutch in one of the pictures and they are installed in the 912ULS 100 hp, but not the 912UL 80 hp. Everything has to come out including the oil seal and bearing. A dye penetrant test now needs to be done down by the bearing opening. The shaft was checked for run out tolerances on the flange and crankcase shaft. These happen to be okay on this plane, this time. that isn't always the case. If you are going to have a prop strike do it at idle or engine off. High speed strikes don't do the prop shaft any favors. I thought some of you may enjoy looking at the inside of a gearbox. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
