Bernie,

The calculations for ratio of this kind is (ring gear divided by sun gear). Using teeth numbers on the ring = gear divided by the teeth numbers on the sun gear; If you had 81 teeth on the ring gear = and 45 teeth on the sun gear i.e. (81/45=3D1.8).

Now if there were an intermediate gear as on the = planetary i.e. planetary gear - then the calculation for the planetary gear teeth. = is; ring gear minus sun gear divided by two i.e.( 81- 45)/2 =3D 18. As = a planetary runs with 3 gears, the prop runs the same way if the = planetary is held (in place) by the ring gear, the calculations are 1.85 +1 = =3D 2.85:1 Ratio.

As the rotary runs anti-clockwise in out orientation = ( from the rear of the motor forward ) we have a clockwise prop direction when = using a planetary PSRU, with ring gear held. With the planet housing held it = would run anti-clockwise and would be 1.8:1

However we only have two gears (sprockets) in this = belt PSRU so ir must run in the direction the motor runs i.e. anti-clockwise. The ratio is = similar to the Ford planetary which is 1.85:1.

I don't really know the numbers of the teeth on the = belt PSRU sprockets but used the numbers abovementioned as demonstration = only.
