Thanks Neil, keep everyone posted, I'll be very interested in the results. James Whitehurst
James, Still plenty of inquiry, but no further sales which is as expected. Further HP,-- there is not much I can do with the gearing but planning to make a different cushion drive that will take more than present. I am now upgrading to 300 HP with the turbo, so that may tell a few stories if I ever get it finished. Tracy used his standard redrive for 300 hp so I have no worries there. Regards. Neil. Neil, how are the sales of the PSRU you developed? Are there any plan's to upgrade it to handle higher horsepower? James Whitehurst That won't do for me! James Whitehurst James, From memory it had an upper limit of 180 HP. I am hoping to get measurements form someone to see just what it is made from. I believe the prop shaft is 2 inch tube with the flange possibly shrunk on and then dowelled. Certainly much cheaper than the cost I am being charged. Anyone know how much horsepower the Ross PSRU will take? James Whitehurst This is weird. But, the Dyke Delta I built and never flew traveled to Alaska, then to Florida, and then has been sitting at an airport just over an hour away for the past year. I don't know how that happens, but the new owner is wanting me to help him get it flying, and I'm willing. In addition to the engine I have in it, he has a Ross PSRU. I think it is the 2.3 gear reduction. There is one of Tracy's engine controllers with the wiring harness, and there is also a turbo that I couldn't identify. He has no need for these parts, and would like to sell them off. Is there any interest in these parts. They're located at the Duplin county airport in Warsaw, NC. He also has a 12A engine, if anyone is interested in that. I guess you can email me directly and I'll connect you with the owner.
