Hello Guys,

This Almost new Rotax 582 Blue Head with only 100 hrs in a Quicksilver decide to quit in the air. Emergency landing was ok with no damage to the Quicksilver neither to the pilot.

The engine was working perfect and sudenly the RPM beguin to drop until it stop completely :(

We decide to open the motor today and we remove only the cylinders. This is what we found.

If you check the pics you will see a cooper color part was stuck on the crankshaft.

Were this part coming from? Were it goes in the engine and why this happened?

Any clue?

THX,

Isaac
