    I think I will order up the strait cut gears, like I am worried
about noise, hell I will never be able to hear the gear noise over
the the scream of the rotary and the 6 blade prop.

Ken,
Can you do the photo's again with the straight cut gears.
I wish  that this set was about the same ratio as the ford set, I would grab
a set of straight cut - but I'm afraid the 3:1 is better suited to you than
to the rest of us, for what reason I can't remember.
I think Doug is looking for a 3:1 ratio as well!
BTW their cheap enough!
