That damper looks good, in fact the whole
PSRU looks good for a single type HP requirement.
Hi George,
I've never heard any of the Subaru boys say anything
negative about the AutoFlight (SUB4 in a previous version)
drives. They seem to be pretty popular with the gyro guys too.
One thing I know for sure, it will either work, or it won't
:-)
On the subject of the damper, I have seen
that before, can't remember where - if you find out where it comes from, please
let me know - it looks ideal for the single.
When I hear from them, and have the drive on the way, I'll
ask about the dampener. I have a feeling they won't really want to tell me
much until they've sold me one. It would be great if it's an off the shelf
item, available in different
durometer values.
What was the price on the PSRU in NZ
Dollars?
Way back in Feb, they quoted me $1800 USD plus shipping for
the drive, but they did not set a price for the adapter in that particular
email.
BTW an adapter plate would be easy to make
yourself, if you had to - it's just a plate with a bunch of holes in
it.
I would certainly give it a shot, but I hope it
doesn't come to that. My hope is that this version would weigh about that
their Subaru units weight, which is just under 40 lbs including the
starter.
I've roughly added up about 25 lbs of weight loss that I
can make pretty easily, which will probably be about the limit for the gyro
engine. I'm still hoping that someone will make all aluminum housings
before I'm too old to fly anymore :-)
Cheers,
Rusty (really, REALLY sick of my 25 mile test
area)
