Hi Paul!

I am in Birmingham and also have a 13B with a Ross that is going on a Q200. I have to make a thrust bearing assembly, too. Neil K. sent me drawings and pics as per how he built his, so I am about ready to go at it. I work at the Southern Museum of Flight up here, and I have a really nice machine shop at hand. If you want to get together on this, I really think it will be as easy to make two as it will be to make one. Mike C.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Ross refrive

Hi, fellow rotary enthusiasts....My name is Paul Conner, and I am building an SQ2000 canard pusher with a 13B. I just installed one of Fred's motor mounts (conversion concepts). Beautiful workmanship, I might add.

My problem is that I have a Ross redrive. I have heard that the Ross should be modified with a thrust bearing. I am looking for someone who might be able to do this modification for me. I know that Tracy sells an excellent redrive, but since I already have this one, I would prefer to pay for the mod and save some money for radios, etc. Thanks in advance for your replies.
