Tracy, Do you have any concerns about the gearbox handling that much HP? Yes, I know there are a number of 3-rotor installations running your gearbox with no problems. The reason I ask is that I am building a P-port 3-rotor for my Lancair and am a little concerned whether or not the gearbox is up to it. I'm figuring about 375-400hp. Mark S.
