Lets give this discussion the real test...

 Does ANYONE have a Single Rotor modified from a Mazda auto
engine, powering a propeller through a reduction drive, that has
Flown more than 100 hours without drive line defect????

 Or 50 hours?

 Or 20 hours?

 Got off the test stand?

ANYONE??????

Yes. Dave Atkins has one sitting  in his shop last time I looked
and Paul Yaw built one up for Gerry Hess. I think Paul 
Ross
has at least one at Alturdyne in a BD5 but I don't have his email 
address yet.

Do they run smooth or do they run  rough guys?
