    Thanks that is a relieve. Can you give me any info on gearbox inspection as the eengineer I talked with said he needed to open the gearbox and change the gears. This is not what I read it looks to me only an inspection and messuring from the outside after taking the gearbox from the engine?

    only change the gears if they are worn out. As detailed in the heavy maint manual.

    I guess from what I have read that I will just wear my 914UL out before I have to worry about some of this. The engine is in an Autogyro Cavalon and I have put 645 hrs. on it in just a little over 2 years and thankfully I have experienced very few problems. I make sure the oil and filter are changed between 30 and 50 hrs. and always send a sample to the lab for analysis and the only thing I see in their report is high lead content if I happen to be away from my base airport and need to use Avgas. So far so good and I hope it stays that way. We are in the excavation business and all our equipment fluids are sent out for testing so I do the same with the Cavalon.
