G"day Loafar, that redrive you have there was made by Nev Walker in Ayr, not far from you.I think he made about half a dozen using ford timing gears if my memory is still working.If you are wanting more info give the manufacture a call on 47833035.I have one of those engine"s myself in the shed,same setup, redrive, turbo and Larkin wooden prop. They worked very well.Graeme.

Hey Lothar, what"s the Ajax for?

Hi all,Has anybody or is using or has used / seen one of these Reduction Drives. Pic attachedHi Loafer, a little more difficult to make a gyro CLT with the prop thrust line above the engine crankshaft line.Aussie Paul.

Cheaper than a CRC bottle and last longer!! LOLloafar.

Hi aussie,As a newbie and considering most of the gyros that are subie powered have there thrust line above the crank line.So can you explain.My thrust line will end up through the base of my chest.

Hi aussie,As a newbie and considering most of the gyros that are subie powered have there thrust line above the crank line.So can you explain.My thrust line will end up through the base of my chest.I would advise you to lay the mast back at 9 degrees considering the heavy engine g/box configuration. A 0 degree (vertical) mast is usually used with light weight 503/582 powered gyros. CLT is much more than simply aligning your thrust line to your chest. Without even seeing your machine design, type of blades, seat tank size, and considering your current gearbox offset, I would prefer to align it with your lower stomach/gut ;D ;D ;DSamL..........

Loafar, Aluminium works best, wood just won"t cut it...LOL

Hi Brownie,Post to my email if you wish.Bunnings through the whole pack of 19 x 40 pine out because it got wet, happened to be in the right place at the right time. I has been a great help.Cheer"s loafar.

G"Day Loafar, I have the same setup which is also a Nev Walker build. could be different ratio though. Where did you pick it up from? Wasn"t from a bloke in Walkerston was it? Cheers Elwynne.

[loafar]

Tell me more.loafar

[elwynne]

not much more to tell, just that he had a gyro which he sold to a bloke in Brisbane, he had a tail that I bought off him. He also had a engine with re-drive similar to mine but said that it is probably a different ratio, wooden prop & a set of larkin blades which he offered to me but I wasn"t interested at the time.Cheers Elwynne

[loafar]

Similar to your"s!Can you tell me if there is a clutch plate adapted to the fly wheel, what sort of clutch (xb falcon?) and how it is adapted?.loafar

[elwynne]

It is just the centre of a clutch plate, no clutch facings. the centre is held in with small cap screws (don"t remember what size, been a few years since I was in there) not sure what the centre is out off.Cheers Elwynne
