Sorry, I meant to add my name before sending the email. Since I am sending another note anyway, I would appreciate any input on which fixed gear I should use. I am sure everyone that has fixed main gear will have an opinion, but in the interest of not overloading everyone with emails, if someone has already said what you would say, maybe a subject line of "DITTO what John Doe said" would give me an idea of where the majority of the net heads stand. So far I have looked at the Diehl and Grove gear (Thanks, Rick) at the below web sites. Are their other options?

I have examined the engine and cannot determine where the oil was coming from. I suspect it was from the crankcase vent and from two possible failures. One being busted rings allowing gas back into the crankcase (but I have turned the prop and it is still as tight as it was before the flight and the mag.'s are still turning) or push rod O-ring failure. There is oil everywhere on the engine above and below the baffles so it is difficult to say where it was coming from. I plan to pressure test the oil cooler as well. Jay W.
