    That sounds like a Helicycle which uses remanufactured T62T-32 engines.
    They have a completely new gear box on them designed and developed
    specifically for this application.   It's well engineered and flys like
    a
    dream.

    Paul,
    I like how they did their 20 amp alternator.  It would be great to have
    a setup like that on the snout of Tracy's gearbox.  The Harley unit was
    too small (2.75" ID), but maybe the VW or another unit would fit.
    Another option may be to modify the front cover to accept a H-D unit,
    similar to the Racemate design, except located behind the eccentric
    pulley.  Has anyone tried this yet?

I'd rather not add any more components to the end of the engine system.
Keep excess weight near the existing CG.

What type of airplane are you building Matt?

How about one in the front and one in the back? or stack them back
to back on the front? just a thought.
