<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]-->  During 12 years and 1600 hours of rotary powered flight time:

  

 Ruptured front cover oil transfer O-ring   -    Un-fun Oshkosh trip flying on low oil pressure.

 Broken tension bolt at RV fly-in (at) Crawford  TX    -  Wife  Fed Ex'ed  spare bolt and fixed it there.

  

 No Mag failures to report   )))
