I made the coupler smaller in diameter to reduce the polar moment
of inertia and gyro reaction stress. The 4130 rectangular
tubes are off the shelf at AC Spruce. The advantage of
this design is: everything can be changed if necessary.
For example if the main 4130 plate cracks the thickness
can be increased in later version.
It does not depend on a proprietary part that could
be discontinued at any time. I will build one some time
this year.

I am really starting to like this design. Can you have it to me by reno?

Are you kidding? It takes a couple of weeks just to get the 4130 steel
laser cut:) Then I have to get it in the tig welding shop
for another couple of weeks. Reno is two weeks away and then
we would have to test fly it first.
BTW I got the radio working today in the RV4. Both transmitter and receiver.
The VSWR is less than 2 at 122.9 MHZ. Works great.

I made a scale dwg showing the counter weight, PSRU adpater plate and rubber coupling.
Here it is. The last attached jpg.
There is not a lot of room for an outboard style alternator/CD ignition
system on the front or back of the flex plate but it might be nice to have
that all in the same package.
I have an idea. Let's see how it develops.
