Mintor 1.7

[Lance Van Nostrand]

The Mintor 1.7 uses a very unique and amazing bearing.  It is a 2 row
angular contact bearing.  Users are all reporting very good luck with them.
The bearing provides about 2/3 more radial and thrust capability, so the
main factor in wearing out the bearing is corrosion, not wear.
  Two users have gotten 300 flights from bearings.
