The torque pulses are a concern. I have some
runtime now with the donut damper, which came with the gear box. If it is going
to be a problem, I would switch to a clutch, which is also available for this
gear box.

Hi Richard,
I have been following your single rotor for some
years now; glad to see you are getting the hp up. However the reported sharp
torque pulse has me worried; what has your experience been with the torque
pulse with the single?

Have been running the one
rotor on p-port for a while. Aiming for 115hp per rotor on 12A housings at
7500RPM(be happy with 100hp in the end). These estimates should give 150hp
for 13B housings, more likely 130, making 260 for a 13B. I know this is
worse than other p-port proponents predict, but this is what I am working
toward. If more power (over stock) is the issue, p-port is the solution,
also simplicity. I have not found any real negatives, for air craft use, in
it.
