I have received several emails from Paul's admirers urging me to offer Larry's bellhousing as an option on the RD-1A/B/C gear drives through RWS.  I responded that if the bellhousing actually came to be and it met the technical requirements for strength and mechanical tollerance that I would have no objection to that and would be willing to work with Larry on verifying those requirements. 

 

I was told that they would relay this to Larry.   I have not heard from Larry so I don't know if he got that message.

 

FWIW, I have seen a lot of 'Paul inspired' projects come and go without producing much in the way of flyable hardware.  If Larry can pull this on off, more power to him.

Tracy,

I believe Larry is not only well placed to help the US Rotary movement, he is also good intentioned - in that he wants to help and to develop components etc. I also believe he is very knowledgeable, with a good background in Aviation.

It's early days, but it's my opinion that networking between you both, would be value added for all concerned.
