Hi Gray,<BR>
Surprisingly the twist was never really a problem on all the grass fields I fly from. Perhaps since I am using the glow length gear. I would imagine reduce that would be good. <BR>
Not all planes can handle a one piece gear and at the widths we are currently dealing with the weight is significant. <BR>
<BR>
John, <BR>
3 bolts two parallel to the fuse sides nearest the fuse side. One centered between on the inboard or inline with the forward most bolt.<BR>
For E power I have played with the same pattern but only using the forward most bolt near the fuse side.<BR>

I am thinking it is better to split the gear for a weight savings. If we make two pieces, and either piece can be a left or a right, then a broken gear is only on one side. Any advantage to that?<BR></FONT><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><BR><BR><BR>Gray Fowler<BR>Senior Principal Chemical Engineer<BR>Radomes and Specialty Apertures<BR>Technical Staff Composites Engineering<BR>Raytheon</FONT> <BR><BR><BR><BR>

I am sure their stuff is well suited for the IMAC style planes that they are designed for but too heavy and way too stiff for our use. <BR>I went through their website and picked a gear based on dimension of the ES. 2+ ounces heavier and twice as thick with zero flex. Broke the gear out of my Black Magic many times when hitting small holes in the runway. Rick donated his ES gear and life has been much better. <BR><BR>Anthony<BR><BR><BR></FONT>
