Ed,
Tracy's website says that he and Laura are on vacation in Colorado. I
wonder if Laura is letting him check email?

Sorry to disappoint you, Rusty (actually, not
sorry at all {:>)).
Finally got the gear box out on the aircraft
today and the drive shaft slide right in like - well, you know. No binding
at all. But, I did find out a unique signature of gearboxes converted from
2.17 to 2.85. You end up with 3 oil drain holes {:>). The 2.17 does not
have a drain hole on the gearbox spacer but the 2.85 does. 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 {:>)
