Big thanks to everyone (esp Paul and Tom)

? The e-shaft is custom made or is it a standard one cut and machined ?.

Frank from Canada plans to make a cd (sign me up Frank)

Does Frank have a site ?.

Looked at Pineapples site and will be in The States next year hope to see some conversions.

By that time any RX8 ideas should be worked out or worked-in.

Todays question , anyone with George Grahams RX7 redrive experience .

I have over 340 hours on the gearbox, I used to take it apart
before every trip, but not anymore.  It has been about 150
hours since the last inspection .Mine weighs 38 lbs, I forget the length, maybe 15

Thanks again i have not played with a Rotary for twenty years.

Yah

George is using the stock TX output shaft which is about 7/8 of an inch
in diameter. A bit scary when you think about gyro torque loads
up to 600 foot pounds. Your average aircraft engine crankshaft 
is well over two inches in diameter. Did George tell you on his web site
about the time he striped the gears? :-)
