Hello all, I am new to the forum and to be honest not much into the forum thing at all but I seen this forum a little over a year ago when I decide to buy one of these RX-1 engines. My approach to the conversion was a little different than the others I've seen. I wanted to use a gearbox but incorporate it to the engine and not built a structure around the engine. So I took the OEM cover off the PTO shaft and copiedthe hole locations and bearing support location as well as seal in a billet T6-6061 piece of aluminum. I then machined the Rotax provision 8 pattern on the cover centered over the CL of the shaft. I spent about 10 hours testing on my engine stand and I was very pleased with the numbers. My last conversion was A Honda Aquatrax on my Long EZ so I was familiar with the performance of this size of engine. I currently have about 40 hours flying the Yamaha on a trike I built for the project. I am very pleased with the set up. Some friends are now asking me if I would make some more of these adapters and possibly a complete engine converted. I am considering removing the adapter and taking to a CNC shop to have a number of them duplicated. I would like a few for myself since I have since bought another engine to convert. I am using this forum to find out who may be interested in purchasing a adapter or possibly a complete set up ready to fly. I don't have a cost at this time. Here are a few pictures of my RX-1 project.
