A prospect was checking out the nifty Antares 18T
sustainer system somewhere over the forest west of ZWB,
when to his great surprise, the propeller departed.
Hell of a way to impress a prospect.

The problem is with the Solo propeller shaft with the
belt reduction system as used on, IIRC:
- Ventus CM (not V2)
- Duo T
- DG-100T

I'll bet any money the problem will turn out to be torsional harmonics.

Remember the problem with the BD-5?


Yeah, I remember the problem with the BD-5. I know a few people who'd
like to get their hands on him.
