Bye Bye 7

Painfully, but getting rid of the 7. Don't have the money/time to keep repairing it.

It's when a bearing comes loose. Like if the rotor bearing spins in the rotor. Usually it means that it seized on the eshaft and then was forced to rotate in the rotor bore, trashing the eshaft, and rotor.

It could happen to any engine. Chief cause is running too low on oil.

Drained the oil. Little copper colored particles in it, and a small chunk of metal that looks like a piece of a seal.
