Todays question , anyone with George Grahams RX7 redrive experience .

http://www.gurr.org/georgeGraham.html

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 .

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? :-)

@# Yes He did mention that :( .

I found another single, it`s  even DIESEL

over at Smartplugs any experience.

Have you ever flown a gas powered model airplane?
What do they put in the fuel to make the glow (smart) plug work?
