swarf =chip detector light/ tooth = sun/planetary disrupt

Always best to get a chip-detector light first from the swarf of a lube fail or misalignment. Not good when the sun/planetary enmesh leads to a tooth detaching. That leads to the prop-torque inducing a prop separation. But always good when it detaches cleanly (up, up and away) and doesn't penetrate the fuselage.....
