Longer prop shaft for G-26
Does Zenoah, or any other aftermarket co. have a longer prop shaft available for the G-26? I have a 1/4 scale Pilot Super Decathlon that I want to put the engine in. With the standard length prop shaft, I'll have to open up the cowl chin for cylinder head and spark plug clearance; if I can get a shaft about 1-1/4 inches longer, I can mount it with no holes in the cowl except for the cowl inlets and a small area at the bottom rear for the warm air and Pitts exhaust to exit. The plane had a 150 Saito , the previous owner decided to keep the engine, but I'd rather have gas on it anyway. Is there any consideration to be made for extending the shaft, such as bearing load, etc?
