SpectreCodename for Phantom III Gearbox Rig Tests.

We wish to have some of the gears in our rig gear box removed so that we can see more clearly what is happening to the oil level. Will you please remove the following pieces from the box and reassemble.

(1) 1st speed gear on 3rd motion shaft.
(2) Servo drive shaft and gear complete.
(3) 3rd speed gear on 3rd motion shaft complete with its S.M. cone.
(4) Top and third S.M. barrel. We want the inner sliding piece left in as we shall require to engage top gear.

We are sending the box into the shop.
