Latest update on the Kruza, and gearbox issues.Have had some problems with the Autoflight gearbox. Origional gearbox was an EJU 160 which decided to break 4 teeth. The EJU160 was origionally designed for use on the EA and EJ22 motors. So the box was replaced with new EJU200 Autoflight which is rated to 200hp instead of the 160hp. Since the engine is a EJ25 this makes for a better logical choice. Problem was most dont even know it exists. Autoflight can also offer a 300hp HD box if required, and many other ratings are on the drawing board.One of the great things about Neil Hintz from Autoflight is his willingness to discuss, and help solve any operational issues you may encounter.One of Neils new improvements is the addition of a fly wheel (instead of the standard flexplate) This helps eliminate the power pulses produced by the motor, and inturn minimize general wear and tear to the motor and gearbox.After several hours of operation with new box, I feel the motor is now running smoother than before (probably due to new fly wheel). He has also asked us to monitor the box oil temp which at full noise has not passed 100 yet. Normal cruise temp is 80 which is engine coolant temp. So far Neil is very happy with operational temps. With this in mind, he is also looking at the possibility of an external oil tank, pump, filter & cooler. This may help with box oil temps during installations in fully enclosed machines and in hot operational temps. Regardless its great to see Neil being pro-active and allowing us to help him improve these great products.Autoflight web site

The heavier flywheel was the answer to most problems with connecting a 2.2 to a C box, incredible difference. Seems to smooth the impulses.Good to hear positive feedback on a brilliant product. Good idea monitoring gearbox temps.
