In a previous article, said:
A quick Google search yielded this info on the engine used in the
Remos:

Ok, I'm a little embarassed that I couldn't find that info myself.

Is a reduction gearbox seen as a reliability problem, or isn't that such a
big deal any more?

I haven't flown one, so I can't be certain, but I'm guessing it would at
least seriously hamper the engines ability to windmill during a temporary
fuel starvation, or carb ice situation.
