The black 1/2" impac wrench u joint swivels are a lot stronger than the basic swivels.
I cannot tell from the pictures; does the square, telescoping pre-rotator tube have a grease fitting?
Does the drive mechanism (wheel at prop) disengage or is it always (and thus the pre-rotator) turning?
Thanks for sharing.

Roundwing,
Any chance you could provides specific part #'s , sources and specs used in your pre-rotator setup?
Price would also be helpful. I suspect there are a lot of ppl who would benefit from this information.
1.)Bendix Gear and bracket mods w/ bearing (#Teeth,Source,bearing type,$) Calumetair.
2.)Ring Gear (#teeth,et al) Calumetair.
3.)Telescoping shaft_ parts needed for assy. (source,$) Inner shaft 3/8in ID X 1/2in OD Outer shaft 1/2in ID X 5/8in OD. Local welding shop.
4.)Angle bevel gear (Amazon_http://andantex.com/products/right-angle-gearbox-anglgear/) Model R3200 1:1 ratio
(ratio, $) About $170.00
5.)Transfer shaft to transfer wheel w/ universal joints (source,$) Calumetair.
6.)Transfer Wheel assy. (source, size of wheel,$) Calumetair.
7.)Power transfer Ring for Wheel from Prop (source,size,$) Calumetair.
Please fill in the blank info for ease of answering and any other info pertanant to a complete pre-rotator system as designed.
MANY, MANY Thanks from all of us who are interested in this design.
Got a VW KB2 gyro my self, just had an accident and starting to rebuild, will love to have the "T" tail that you had, if there any way that you can made another one and sell it to me, or at list sell me all the pre-cut pre-vended tubes?
I can be contacted by email at puchepu at hotmail.com

Ron does not make the tail assemblies . He sales a plans package unless he changed his
mind sinse I last spoke with him about one for myself
I was just basing the comment on what I have read here and on this page in his website:
