Paul... she looks great... nice close up... Bill Lakesideflying Anyone in the group using planetary reductions on those 15hp electric start motors? To me......
Hi Bill, I built and have used reduction units on my Lazair for 25 years. It's a series 1 with modified Pioneer engines. I designed my redrives so that they...
