Necks – here is the RD-19 case I opened up a few months ago as I received it.
oh – I also used the prop shaft as a hammer – nitwit thing to do, I know . . . .
it mushroomed the end out just enough so that when all the bolts were
installed, it pinched the shaft just enough to the point it would not turn [at all].
so in the process of eliminating the simple things, check the prop shaft for
any kind of deformity.
I thought it would have been much, much harder than it actually is !!!
now I understand how easy it is to bend a shaft when the prop hits something.
[Note to self: use the correct tool for the job].
