Is a reduction gearbox seen as a reliability problem, or isn't that such a big deal any more? I've run some accident analyses of homebuilts using alternate engines. Out of ~95 homebuilts with Rotax four-strokes that had accidents during 1998-2004, about 14% of them were due to some sort of mechanical problem with the powerplant. None of them were due to failures of the gearbox. BTW, that 14% is about the same as conventional engines.... Ron Wanttaja
