Ok here is some footage Airtime did today.
It is how you shift the turbine from forward neutral reverse.
I just press the micro switch as I pull the shift lever.


I think its pretty cool how it works.

The propeller actualy stops dead.
you can see the cv grease from the exploding boot.
I would not want to try this at speed.

Stay tuned for some High Speed runs!

Gerry, Thanks for the very un-eventful throughly relaxing day @ the ol'shop ! Hope u-get all of the details worked out on your potential trl. conversion to a tilt and swing design ! Sounds like u-have all the angles covered. Have a great time over @ Block Island it is an awsome place for a weekend stay. As you know, will be out on the northern west coast for the beginning of July. Tell John I will catch him just after the 16th, there about's. Oh and make some room for the Sutphen, u-serious about the offer, Kool ! ps: justbustinum - - - - see ya soon, I'll bring ya--a pair of nice crabby legs, u-can roast em-over the stacks !
