Hi Rusty, just got back from the delayed Lakeland RV fly-in.
Great fun & nice flight. Did a maximum performance climb-out on
departure which prompted the tower to ask what was under the cowl : )
The RD-1 input shaft spline is same as stock Ford C6 input
shaft. There were 2 versions (30 and 31 teeth). RD-1x
uses the 30.

Subject: [FlyRotary] RD-1C input shaft
designation?
Greetings,
I guess this is mostly to Tracy, unless someone else knows. What's
the official designation of the input shaft on the RD-1C drives? I
presume it's known as a (some number) spline (some size) diameter, or someting
like that. Is it the same as what was used on any particular
vehicle?
I've seen some dampeners available commercially, but I need to know which
one would fit the input shaft. I'm looking into getting an X-ACT
Streetlite flywheel as a test as well. It's about 11.5 lbs, and uses the
auto counterweight. I'll be doing some measuring today, while I'm out at
the hanger moving tools and such back to the garage for
RV-8 construction.
Thanks,
Rusty (shut up Thomas
