Transmission let go on the launch of the first pass in mid air.
N/A

Looks like I will be pulling the transmission out again! Basically reverse did not fully dis-engage after the release of the transbrake.

Tony.

I plan on having a different person build it this time. Keep having problems with it from the guy I have been using for years.

Thanks.

Just got off the phone with my tranny builer. He is going to start over from scratch with a new case, valve body, .....and the whole package. My unit right now has a gremlin in it. He thinks maybe a crack in the case or something that is causing this problem. He will disect this current unit and send it to the recycling plant.

Will be back in action soon.
