Thanks  Rusty, that does confirm my suspicions.  Stopped by the auto store and purchased a 1/4" NPT plug cause I was certain Tracy did not mean for it to have three drain holes. 
 
Yes, I forgot he and Laura headed west I believe.  Good for them they both burn the candle at both ends and sometimes in the middle to boot.
 
Last week was the week from ... well, where ever it came from it can go back.  But, this week is looking better at least I got out to the airport and test hung the drive.  Seems to have less gear lash than the 2.17 but since I don't have one to compare its probably just my subconscious remembering the distance the prop tip moved {:>).

Sorry to disappoint you, Rusty (actually, not sorry at all {:>)).  
 
Neither am I.  Actually, I wish you'd hurry up and get that dang thing running.  I could've sworn you were retired... :-) 
 
I am sure I am to plug the center hole of (the rear drain hole of the 2.17).  But, to make certain I have sent Tracy and e mail to confirm it.  Better than finding out in the air I was wrong {:>)
 
 
I believe you're right, and you might not get an answer from him since he's on vacation.  I'll attach a few pics, for your amusement.  One shows the bottom of both drives.  The drain holes on the C drive are of course behind the tape.  The other two pics show the B, and C drives for comparison.  
 
Cheers,
Rusty (sometime before I retire Ed <g>)
