Would a single with no dampers put the resonance
beyond the useful range?

Good question Ernest.  I thought about trying the RD-1C drive with a solid plug where the rubber dampeners normally live, but when I considered that all the normal gear lash play would still be there, I realized it was probably not going to be much of a test. 
 
How much gear lash is there on a typical Hirth, or Rotax gear box? 
 
Cheers,
Rusty
