You might go on to something with the Warpdrive prop issue.
There were
several cases of VW cranks being sheared off while running
Warpdrives &
the 'internet wisdom' was that the carbon blades were so
stiff that the
torque reversals from the VW (like a mini-Lyc) were killing
the shaft
because the prop wouldn't absorb the pulses. (The reality was
probably
that they had just the *wrong* resonant freq & were stronger
than the
crank.)
At any rate, Warps became verboten on direct drive
VW's.
Hi
Charlie,
I hadn't heard of this,
but it's pretty interesting. I've got the Warp Drive prop off now, and
need to cut the IVO off about 2 inches before I install it. I can
absolutely guarantee that it will be better, worse, or the same
:-)
