That's the main reason (money) I like George's unit.  If I build it, surely
I can fix it.  Now if we can figure out a good supply of cheap
tranny's and get the prop flanges machined cheaply,, any ideas??

I think a chip detector should be a must in any PSRU. A magnetic plug
(minimum), at the lowest place or electric chip detector and if second gear
starts shedding metal then hey,, get out the tool box and replace it.  A off
the shelf gear set and a gasket seems cheaper than sending a unit back to
who ever built it.  So what if it only goes 400 or 500 hrs.  that's a lot of
flying.
