I was talking to a friend at the airport this morning after flying my Firestar. He flies a gyro (yes, I feel the same way!!!) with a 582 with 200 hr. I happened to look at the rope starter housing due to the recent thread on that. It just sits there in the open at eye level. The "axle" of the housing had broken completely loose in a nice clean circle around the weld. It turned and moved in and out as the rope was pulled. He said he had heard some squealing sounds that he couldn't identify lately. He's kind of a joker, but that did sober him up a bit.

Keep your eyes open on those preflights.
