numbers based on the dimensions you gave and the Datsun as a comparison
result in a factor of about 3.7 which is not much off from your 4.0
claim...... You may be righter than I originally thought.

It was just a crude guess on my part Howard. OK I will run the numbers soon.
I think that is a minor problem compared to the output shaft
problem. I have several friends working on that problem with 
Sophisticated FEA programs. Loosing your prop can ruin your 
whole day.

Thanks for the work on this Howard.
