<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was flying my quest yesterday, and when I landed
I heard a loud irregular screeching sound.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is my 1st YS engine and have been flying it
for a couple of months now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At first I thought the cowl came loose and was
touching the spinner backplate, but when I taxied and stopped the engine at my
feet to check it nothing was touching the engine, not even close. It was a high
picthed noise.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I shut it down, and thinking it could be a bearing
I tried turning the propeller by hand and everything felt smooth.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anybody with experience with these engines can
share their ideas as to what could this be?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'd like to know what to look for before I start
disassembling it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
