Rusty,
it seems to be a possilility to have a = real simple=20 set-up. There is still some work to be done to confirm what I think I = have seen=20 so far.
I modified the E-Shaft , yes it is a = b..... the way=20 I had to do it. This was only for the first one, the future will look = different.=20
My present engine is, as far as the = weight is=20 concerned, comparable with the ROTAX 912.
