I have an osprey II plane that need an engine only. I am to install a RX-7 with Mr. Grams redrive.

I would like to get info on the RX-7 to limit my birthing pains.

Thanks for your good work in this field

I don't recommend that approach to a PSRU. IMHO the transmission output shaft is too small
in diameter to stand up to the prop gyro torque loads. You could lose the prop.
Check with Tracy Crook for a much stronger PSRU or redrive.
