I wholeheartedly agree. I fully intend to build an Otherpower 10' pretty much exactly to spec before I do this. I don't even have to change the design for what I'd like to do with the bevel gears and shafting -- it would just simplify it significantly. Now that I've read the responses, I understand the way the furling system works better -- I was having trouble visualizing the forces involved and the replies to my post were enlightening. I think it may end up being simpler for me to build a machine with the same physical arrangement of rotor, tail, and yaw axis than to reinvent the wheel in trying to eliminate one pair of bevel gears. Thanks, everyone!
