[FlyRotary] Re: Performance coatings- bearing damage?

Is the exhaust connected to the turbine by a spring tensioned ball coupling?

Last night I installed some springs to apply a counter force forward, then I went flying (looking for any excuse).  After just 45 min of flying the exhaust forward about 2 mm.  Once the exhaust is centered again I will adjust the tension on the springs to just counter balance the force of the slip stream.

 

The alternative would be to build a nice fairing around the exhaust, something I may eventually get to.
