Hey Paul

I would be interested in one of these flex plates also.

Bob Mears

We have done further R&D.

This is the latest and final version (I hope).

Mark will be testing it on his 3 rotor p-port shortly.

Here is how it looks.
If you want one of the couplings prepare to send me a spline
plate. Either new from ebay ($37) or the one you bought from Tracy and your
input shaft. I can add another pin to the gear and cut the drums off the new spline
plate and machine it to fit. I will mod the input shaft. Very little heat
will be required as braze will work.

You will have to drill out the 1/4 inch bolts holding the ring gear bulkhead
and replace them with 5/16th bolts.

This will fix the gear box problems showing up in the last 5 years or so with
the higher power rotaries. Turbo, p-port and 3 rotor.

Mark. I am buying the material today. It will take a few days
to water jet cut some of the parts. When they are done I will
send you a kit for welding and testing.
