The RX8 drive shaft is perfect for our needs.
Designed to run up to 9000 RPM and sized exactly
right for the rotary torque. Since the engine is
in the extreme rear of the VTOL canard air craft for weight
and balance reasons  and the gear box is in front for prop
shaft reasons we need a drive shaft to bring the power forward.

What is the length?

I can put it in the model.

Don't know but we may have to put in three sections of it.
Right now it is two piece.

What do you think of this composite rotor hub? Glass maybe carbon
fiber. I am also thinking of using composite drive shafts.

Here is a source in my neck of the woods for carbon
drive shafts.
