| Anyone ever had a clutch shoe break? I've never seen anything like this! I have abt. 6 gals. of fuel threw this machine and just after my 3rd flight of the night I did an auto (like normal) and when it landed the engine was off....huh, this thing never stalls. Tried to restart...acted like the clutch was grabbing would not start. Got it home took the engine out and the shoe came out in two pieces! I've never had so much as a hot start or a crash with this clutch setup. No vibrations, no nothing. What would cause this? I'll post some pics later, I'm shocked that it did not cause a crash. Never gave a hint while I was ripping it around the field.
