I have decided to look at manufacturing straight cut gears and planet gears with caged needle bearings to cope better with the RPM - those little planet bearings zing along! Hoping to target the magic 300 hp figure. 
 
Hi George,  
 
300 hp?  I thought you were working on a single rotor PP.  You're not really planning to try to make 300 (aircraft reliable) HP with a single are you? 
 
As I mentioned in the last post I made, I'll just keep an eye out for a suitable drive, and if nothing appears, I'll be forced to get creative.  I hope it doesn't come to that though.  It would be nice if Racing Beat would finish their aluminum housings in the next year or so as well. 
 
Cheers,
Rusty
