Doug sent only one picture that I could read George.
The rest of the photos I took in Florida at Dave Garbers house.
I also scanned and uploaded the calculation chart.

Paul,
Right you are - I should have recognised them straight away, but I was
engrossed in the calculations.
I might add I'm very impressed with the Mistral Planetary - it's very
elegant. I am equally impressed with the Bell Planetary and on a gut feeling
I guesstamate the Mistral Planetary would be good to 300 HP and may be 350HP
and although the Bell Planetary has had figures of 1,000 HP bandied around,
I feel it would more likely be 400 ( maybe 450given) the additional RPM
demanded of it. That's if you want a reasonable life expectancy. It probably
take more HP for a shorter period of time
Doug what Hp and TBO are you looking for?
George ( down under)
