Howdy All;

I have a Cuyuna 430 for a Cloud Dancer Jenny that I am restoring. Unfortunately, the redrive is a 3:1 Winters planetary drive. These apparently developed quite the reputation for freezing up, seizing up and ejecting the prop in flight.

I am looking for a fairly low profile/short height compact belt drive of about 2.9:1 that will fit the front of a Cuyuna 430/ULll-02.

Does anyone have any idea where I might find something? Multi belt or cog belt; it doesn't matter.

I seem to recall that Cuyuna made a gear drive for a time; has anyone had any experience with those? What about adapting a provision 4 Rotax B box with an adapter plate? I have heard of that but have no first hand knowledge of how well it worked.

Thanks for any help, advice or leads.
