Here's some drawings showing the layout of gear parts to give forward or
reverse direction. I decided later to not include a governor attached
to the gearbox but rather at the other end of the engine. I wouldn't
mind moving the starter back to the other end, as well. Trying to keep
the weight as close to the firewall as possible.

You are a great artist Greg. These are wonderful sketches.
You would love Rhino.

Hi, Paul:
Can you please tell me more about Rhino, either public or private if you
wish? I'm really limited with pencil and paper.
Thanks

To be an effective designer today, you need tools to quickly develop your
designs and accurately communicate them to everyone in the product
research,
development, marketing, and manufacturing or construction process.
Designed in Rhino
Start with a sketch, drawing, physical model, scan data, or only an
idea?Rhino
provides the tools to accurately model and document your designs ready for
rendering, animation, drafting, engineering, analysis, and manufacturing
or
construction.
Rhino can create, edit, analyze, document, render, animate, and translate
NURBS
curves, surfaces, and solids with no limits on complexity, degree, or
size.
Rhino also supports polygon meshes and point clouds. Rhino offers:
Uninhibited free-form 3-D modeling. Tools like those found only in
products
costing 20 to 50 times more. Accurately model any shape you can imagine.
Extreme precision. Design, prototype, engineer, analyze, document, and
manufacture anything of any size no matter how small or how large.
Unrestricted editing. Revise freely without concern about how you got
there or
where you want to go next.
2-D drafting, annotation, and illustration. In addition, flatten 3-D
surfaces
into 2-D patterns and drive laser, plasma, and water jet cutters.
Large project organization. Work with both large models and large teams.
Compatibility. Exchange files with your other design, drafting, CAM,
engineering, analysis, rendering, animation, and illustration software.
File read and repair. Fix extremely challenging IGES and mesh files.
Direct connection. Support for wide variety of 3-D digitizing arms, 3-D
scanners, and 3-D printers.
Customization. Easy-to-use tools let both you and software developers make
Rhino
fit your special needs.
Short learning curve. Focus on design and visualization without being
distracted
by the software.
Speed. Even on an ordinary laptop computer Rhino is fast. No special
hardware is
required.
Affordability. Ordinary hardware. Short learning curve. Priced like other
Windows software. No maintenance fees. Worldwide support is included.

If you sign up for a course in school you can get a student discount.
Here are a bunch of illustration that I have done using Rhino.
I also have Rhino models of the rotary engines and gear boxes
that I can email to you so you can save time.

Greg,
You have to keep in mind that PL has a very large brain too.
