Yesterday I went to the Airport to Spin up my new blades and check the tracking --all was well for a couple of minutes -then BAM my prerotator SIEZED --ended up stripping the small gear-bending the shaft as well as cracking the cast aluminum bracket and bronze upper support-- all in all a total loss-- The unit was a Wunderlick and it was old as dirt!
Now I have two options --replace the whole upper unit ot go electric--
Does anybody have a used upper unit that they want to sell?
