[cool][#0000ff]As I mentioned in a PM, the first design worked very well...with the 30# thrust motor. But it seemed to be subject to "torque" a bit more with the stronger 40# motor...with the single center PVC shaft. In the diagram below you can see that I plan to eliminate the center shaft and go to an outside frame...with two shafts running all the way up to the motor mount. Properly secured it should be a lot more stable.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I will probably put the prototype together this coming week and I will send you the pics...with dimensions. These are usually things that I have to measure, cut and recut as I go to get it all to fit together right. But once I have the initial model in place and working I can remeasure and mark down the dimensions for anybody else who wants to give it a try.[/#0000ff]
