DucattiSS, Those brakes look so clean they almost look like they were computer generated. Time to get them dirty.

What kind of redrive are you planning for the Kawi?

I've only ever seen belt drives but have heard that someone once made cases that were gearbox compatable for the 440.

Scott,  Probably will not get them dirty this year - perhaps next summer. 

If you are ever up around the Argyle area I would like to see your Firestar. I have a 8 to 900 ft. strip about 4 miles south of Dick's, near the cell tower, east of Rt. 40. Approach from the north, approx. first 500ft upgrade, at shrub line starts down grade  last 100 to 150ft. very sloped. Depart to north. Hump at about 100ft. from North end, ask Bill S. Wind sock near shed.

 I have a micro v reduction for the TA - design and machining are impressive.

Would love to see a pic of the reduction. Can it be mounted up like a gearbox?

Uses plates bolted to various locations on the engine, not the same as a Rotax gear box. It is currently stored in a box, I will try to pull it out and take a photo some time this week.
