Dear Rotary Club,

Powersport has completed and shipped our engine and drive package
to a Velocity customer last Friday.

We are starting the next run of  5 engines and 6 reduction drives.
This next run will ship to customers in 6-8 weeks. There is still
time to add to this quantity this week!

If we could increase the quantity of reduction drives to 10 more,
we could make a large price reduction on our reduction drive

We have previously quoted the reduction drive at $6,500. We could
lower the price to $4,500.  If we receive orders for 10 more drives.

Our reduction drive has been thoroughly designed and built for the Mazda
Rotary
It runs very smooth, and maintains a very tight gear mesh. We have removed
the ring and pinion gear several times for inspection, and shows no signs
of wear.

Internal Spur Gear reduction drive is designed to handle 300 hp continuous,
for 2000 hours. The strength of the gear tooth is good for 450hp. We have
not
yet performed the vibration analysis on our drive when couple to a 20B, but
would soon if people are at that stage in their projects.

Other added benefit to our reduction drive is;

1) You do not need to find a custom made left hand prop, Ours allows
standard prop rotation.

2) Our drive moves the props centerline up by 2" (no need to rotate the
engine plugs-up
    to gain prop clearance). This is especially important if you use our
215 hp engine as you
    will need a larger prop. We are now flying with a 72" dia. 3 blade MT
constant speed, our
    last fixed pitch prop was Allen Tolle's RV-3  70" dia. x 85" pitch and
this prop was not enough.

3) Our outdrive handles aerobatic forces, in pusher or tractor set-up.
Precision angular
    contact bearings take thrust and radial loads with a 8 times safety
rating

4) Our outdrive allows backlash adjustment throughout its service life.
    with-in 30 minuts without disassembly,  while on the airplane.
