Tom,
I'm really sorry to hear about your re-drive failure.  Good thing it didn't
disentigrate while you were flying. Parts can be replaced.

I have been putting off posting this notice, but with your situation this seems
like as good a time as any to do it.  I have a virgin RD-1B redrive that has
been mounted on my engine, but never run.  I bought it a couple of years ago to
use on my turbo 20B and have since decided to go N/A and use the 2.85:1.00
drive instead.  My new RD-1C re-drive arrived last Friday.  So, I'm looking to
sell the RD-1B. It uses the 6 pinion planetary unit, so as Paul says, it is 50%
stronger.  RWS sells them for $2890, and I would knock off $500 from that
price.  This is a real good deal for someone needing/wanting a new redrive.

If I don't sell it to someone on the rotary group, I'll be putting it up for bid
on ebay. Good luck with the re-work.
