Paul & Vance,
   My first dumb question is, now that we have an output drive thru a
stub shaft with universal joints at each end, how are the two rotors
connected ?  And on the back side, where do I attach my starter drive ?
Do I need  a mini stub shaft with universals at either end driving a
bearing mounted flex plate with starter ring gear teeth ?
   Damn, I just started thinking about the vibration being induced by
the stub shaft as it rotates around the centerline of the front rotor !
I think you need to redesign a planetery gear system here so that the
stub shaft remains parallel to the old Eshaft centerline !
   Nevermind, I've already stayed up too late, and my mind was boggled
about a decade ago, So, Good Luck !
