    Machine up another set of cases to suit say an ER 100 gearbox, perhaps?

    Doesn't bother me, I was just wondering what the deal was.

    Not closely. I'm forced to concede that my intellect is lacking, and comprehension escapes me.

    Suffice to say Neil has skills to pay the bills.

    I hope that's not something else lying around....Husa has already identified the best smallish close ratio six speed - honda VT250. Plenty of shagged Vt's in wreckers too.

    I might have found an even better one too, but keeping that one to myself.... but they the VT250 are pretty good ratios the gears are thin but fairly big in the diameter compared to say a mx125.
    I can't imagine the gearbox would be worn on most vt's
    They also have a planetary gear change. Typical Honda stupid size bearings.......
    They have a clutch which has the std Honda size plates but much larger diameter gear which is great for water coolled crankcases.
    Funny enough I actually started on the patterns today, Neil's right it's great therapy messing with wood.

    Still looking for a VT250 primary drive gear if anyone has one?

    They used too.... Now it consists predominantly of a flock of Petrels and a couple of Gannets.

    Radar.... but you knew that anyway Jason, cause you were likely there...... the defence was the early warning it would have given us to give us time to surrender........

    And the Martin Jet Pack - much better than an F Whatever - and cheaper!
    Get up in one of those and you can see things coming for bloody miles! (still working on what to do with them when we do spot them though!) - maybe release a flock of petrels to get sucked into the intakes!
    Anyway,they're so good that the US Military want to build them under licence (license to you)!

    (HUSA please put the picture in I can't get it to work.).

    Better than a picture here is the CHCH made V4 powerplant for the Martin jetpack as in 4x CR500 cylinders.

    I'd heard that they were going to use an axial engine (maybe 2 ?) like the DUKE - has that fallen through or did it never come to pass?
    CR500 x 4 - plenty of power i guess but not a lot of fuel economy! and I guess they have worked out an exhaust system with a V4 layout where the usual chambers are redundant.

    It's RPM and power limited for aviation certification.

    Husa you posted a couple of pics of the MAV4 part built on the bench that I sent you some time back.
    On another thread ? Will may be interested.
