At long last the design of the 2.85 : 1 redrive (RD-1C) is complete.
Prototype testing is scheduled to begin in June and if all goes well,
production units will be available in August.

These are 6 pinion drives provisionally rated at 300 HP
continuous.  The
target engine for these drives is the RX-8 Renesis but also useful for
those
turning long props or running higher rpm on current 13B or 20B engines.

I currently have 2 confirmed orders for this drive.   To encourage more
2.85
:1 users to order now and help reduce production costs with higher
volume, I
am accepting deposits for the August production run at a $140 discount.
Regular price is $2840.00.  A $100 deposit will hold your
production slot.
If you already have one ordered you will get the reduced price.

If for any reason the tests on the drive are unsatisfactory, all
deposits
will be refunded.

Great news Tracy, check's in the mail.

You had talked about hydraulic prop control provisions in the past.  Is
this still part of the design?
