I was going over my plane and found some grease coming from the hub. It's a DA 85.

I'm assuming this is indicative of blown bearing seal or seals?

yep, bearings will need replacing - sooner than later

Well that blows,pun intended...

LOL,that never gets old, but they way they did it was hysterical.

Been a few of these over the last few months.

Send it in and experience the great da customer service.

Unfortunately,it was just there late spring and had new piston,jug,ring and front end work.

Has the bearing been replaced before?

They had to pull the front end out due to the previous owner crashing(he never told me that),so I think they did replace it, but not positive.

I'm looking for the paperwork from DA to see all that was done and can't find it yet.


I'm not concerned,they will make it perfect again....I just really wanted to fly it tomorrow. lol

Oh for sure they will!

Need to buy yourself a backup engine. lol
