Just a little background info here. A four cylinder fires twice per
rev just like a rotary. There fore it is possible to clock the
prop with a direct drive so no blade ever gets a full exhaust pulse.

With a non integer gear box one or more blades gets the full exhaust
pulse in a periodic manor.  If I were building a rotary pusher with
a gear box  I would move the exhaust pipes outboard as far as possible.
That is all I am saying and what is so hard about that?

BTW I am glad I am building a tractor :-)

Hi Paul,
they are not giving you hard time, just that is impossible to pipe the exhaust
outside the prop disk without major risk of melting important parts.

I would settle for 2/3 out.
