Hi Cary,
You'd think it would help, but I had this engine mounted on a Kolb airframe about a year ago, with one of Tracy's redrives.  At the time, I tried adding weight to the flex plate, and it didn't make any noticeable difference.  It should help, but I'm afraid it will have to be more than a few lbs.

Hi Rusty;
Sorry, I recall some of your Kolb testing.  How much weight did you finally test with?

I would have thought a few pounds would noticeably drop the reversal rpm.  I was always curious how much of a flywheel moment of inertia it is going to take to get it smooth at 1000rpm.

Has Richard posted his flywheel moment of Inertia?

Thanks
Cary
