Anyone/Tracy Cook
So is Tracy Cook thinking of building a Marcotte type drive!?

I think Tracy is fully aware of the weight and cost advantages of
a Ford C6 based planetary PSRU. At least I think he should be :-)

Paul,
You are correct with weight and cost, but the Marcotte drive involves some
great
engineering - Tracy can quite possibly see that and appreciate it.
The designer of the Marcotte has had significant recognition for his work,
it's a pity they can't supply (for those who want them) - it may be a supply
and demand
problem, in that demand may be too low to allow for them to gear up for
effective production.
How many times have you seen this in the aviation industry.
If I could get a hold of a design like this I'd make'em here in Australia.

Why? :-)
