There is a well-used engine shop in SC that I was planning on shipping it to. I spoke with the owner. He was adamant that there was no requirement. He did say that no insurance company would insure it without a teardown but I don't insure it. I had a crank runout check that gives tolerances of 0 - 0.005" It ran out to 0.0005". So there is no doubt the crank wasn't bent. Additionally, there was little if any inertia left in the blade as the engine was shut down and the prop was coasting down as it hit the earth. Anyone else have any written requirement somewhere I would be glad to see it. KD

Thanks for the post of the SB. Will definitely rethink decision. Otherwise, I went over to plane today. They have the rear out, tailbooms off and everything out of the cabin. A friend and I did some careful measuring and have modified my trailer to accept the plane side ways on the trailer (now only measure 16' long which will be my max width when side ways). Will load it next Friday and transport early Sat morning when traffic is slow. My first look over the engine mount shows no signs of stress from the landing. I'm also hoping to update the interior during this down time as well. The seats are very nicely done in a grey velour. There is no signs of wear on them anywhere. My plan is to accent them with a grey leather interior. No sense in wasting the seat-covers and I think the other interior parts need renovating. I also had one of my OBS not reliable so will have it worked on as well. I also want to install a second comm panel and yoke mic switch for the right-seater. That and th annual should be enough for this annual. KD
