I'm sorry maybe I should've been more clear. The picture was not to
reference the "type" of gear box ,rather that it was a gearbox made out of
carbon. So planetary redrive housing made out of carbon.   Can you refresh
my
memory as to which gear set to use.

Tony,
Copy the Mistral redrive internals...except the belt driven alternator. It
needs a CS hub (oil fed), a prop gov drive pad, and maybe an accessory
drive. Pics have been posted on here of it.

It also need one of Tracy's torque damper couplings.

Paul,

Do you think somebody might get the rights and the tooling for that reduction
drive from Mistral and make it available to the Experimental market?

Steve Brazil?


I have my feelers out but so far nada.
I suspect it will be two years before any entrepreneur is going to
risk it. Only then if the gov changes. I have never seen the biz this bad.
In the mean time save your wages and buy gold :) Most people have
no clue when it comes to $14,000,000,000,000.

Perhaps if somebody wised up and put a 5% tax on Chinese goods this
year and another 5% additional each year until the balance of payments
became 50/50. In other words 5% 2011... 10% 2012... 15% 2013 etc., etc..
We are stupid to do biz with a totalitarian gov like the Chinese.

Call your reps and suggest it.
