Tytus, first of all, I don't feel I was 'dissing' you at all. I've said many times that it is a good design.

As to anthony towne's idea of "streamlining with bevel gears", it would add more compononents, yes, but it would also add a considerable amount of weight.

If a team decides to build this to specs Tytus provides (assuming he will if this works), and they 90º input was also used, there is more to it.

An angled mounting plate which would be free hanging on both sides. This would have to be at least larger than the diameter of the chiaphua (which I think was 2 1/2"). This would bring in the design probably about 5 or 6".

Also, as Tytus said, it would be less efficiant. I'm not sure if bevels are 70%, I thought they were roughly 95%, but either way More Gears = More Weight & Less Efficiant.

Angles from helicals would also change the way the mounting plates are in.

Personally, I see more harm than good in adding angles
