Fuel/Water, Bearing/Rust

[Bob Pastorello]

Good note, Ed!  And timely reminder about our old 2C .60 woes!  Man, my OS 61RF would go through the bearings like crazy!
    Maybe Dave L. will chime in about the double-seal bearings.  I'd bet just about anything that they're not "sealed", and that when removed, he's found plain ol' fuel oil leftovers coating 'em.  Maybe not.
    Dave ??  You home?

  Think about this. Have you ever seen bearings rust in a tank with aluminum tubes and no clunk as in a Tetra bladder tank setup ?? I've seen it, Dave Funk's OS 140RX in his Hydeaway rusted the original bearing in very few flights.
