My first dual belts
were from two different manufacturers, and were very closely matched. Worked
fine for 100 hours; then I changed them ‘just because’. I bought
two Gates of the same part number, and they were excellent match. They have about
100 hours and still look good. I’ll run these longer.

& other dual Gates belts users ( including myself ) at our last chapter
fly-in two gyro planes came in & the owner/designer/builder was telling
Greg & I about a company that makes heavy-duty "matched
" v-belts for his gyro drive sys., point is they are matched,
one of our belts is stretching differently than the other ( one is loose other
is tight ). Greg is going to purchase a couple of belts for our 13B stock 70A
Mazda Alt. with under-drive dual v-belt sys., will let you know as soon
as we know. David R. Cook RV6A Rotary last rivets now
installed ( Data plt. ) slapped in the face by the economy so moving very slow.
