I have looked at the old posi-flex drive shaft that was used on engines with pulley's and belts to drive a propeller ... but is there something off the shelf that bolts to a gearbox prop flange and goes out 15"-18" on a shaft and has a prop flange at the end that incorporates some flexing for alignment? Then how would you support the end of the shaft by the propeller ... pillow block? Looking for ideas so anything is worth hearing about and if there is something off the shelf please include where. Thanks!
