Dale, I'm running Tracy's RD-2C redrive on my n/a 3-rotor. I'm at 70 hrs with no problems. I'm also running an M/T constant-speed prop, if that makes any difference. I check the backlash and end-play before every flight. I wish Tracy sold mufflers. ;-)

Hi All,
Over on the COZY list, there has been some discussion centered around one flyer's most recent problem with his "PSRU". A question came up as to whether any of the reduction drives are actually operating (relatively) trouble free. It got no particular response. Seems like there are a lot more RVs flying with "auto-based" engines requiring gearing down, and I've only heard of one rotary engine that didn't use a reduction drive. Soooooo ...
How many folks here are flying with a RWS RD-nx?
What sort of troubles (if any) have you had with it? How many hours flown since the last incident requiring maintenance?
I'd like to share the information I obtain with the COZY group, but only in the aggregate - no names (unless someone volunteers as a reference).
Also, as a COZY builder, I'd feel kind of silly joining an RV list just to ask the questions. Is someone here that's also on an RV list where alternative power is common who would post my three questions with a feed directly back to me?
Thanks,
Dale R.
