Going to a larger bearing in the OS .61 (old case vs new case/hanno case) did 
not solve the problem, the solution was the stainless bearing in the Hanno, I 
had one of those buggers go 1000+ flights and pulled it down to change it 
before I sold it and the new owner made the choice to leave the bearing alone and 
keep the new one for a spare, never got run more than about 10 flights after 
sale (guy died), so no farther info, but looked/felt good after 1000 flights.  
True story, no bull shit, not this time anyway :-)
