Mark,

   The RD2C  direct  "Rigid" connection from flywheel to the Redrive is
somewhat a mystery to me and I suspect to most on the "Flyrotary"
list.........I have never seen any photos of this setup and only vague
descriptions.........I  do not know if any on
the list purchased A RD2C and am aware of only the one installed on Tracy's
RV8.........

   If any on the list has more knowledge or actually has seen one please
speak up and provide photos if possible.........I personally have gone with
the a (13 lb) steel flywheel and the"Soft" damper provided with the RD1C by
Tracy......This is the "Fix" for a failed Gen 2 flex-plate used by Dave
Leonard on his Turbo/13B RV6 while racing at Reno..........
