Anyone know if that is a Hirth gearbox?
I recognized a three cylinder Yamaha engine since I fly one.

Phil R., Of KC, MO: Is this one of your projects, since I see the extensive bottom mounting plate that is anchored to the gearbox adapter plate, like you were working on, or is it the one you'd told me about the fixed wing guys had developed?
 
I think you saw it on the facebook yamaha engine conversion page. William Langford posted some similar photos. I don't know who he works for but he posted that they sell the adapter kit. It look a lot like the Tango Gyro adapter plate with a Hirth box.
 
Not having seen a Tango adapter plate in person, I've heard it's bottom plate is quite short, whereas this one looks to run almost halfway back under the engine.
