Technically, the GO-300 on the Cessna 175 doesn't have a PSRU, it's just a geared engine, sorta. They modified a standard O-300 with a beefed up crank/cam gear set and put the prop hub on the cam gear. Allen G. Wiesner 65 Franklin Street Ansonia, CT 06401-1240 203-732-0508 - Origina

I think the main application for PSRUs in aircraft, is if you're running an engine with an absurdly-high operating RPM/power-curve, that you need to bring down to make using a prop practical... For example, if you're powering your plane with a Subie motor that red-lines at 6k+, you're obviously

KR> PSRU propeller shaft pitting

2012-03-28 Thread Martin Pearce
On removal of the aluminium prop hub I found some small areas of surface pitting and patches of light corrosion on the surface of the propeller drive shaft on my Reductions belt drive PSRU. Is this going to be a problem? Do I need to replace the shaft or is it likely to be still ok? Cheers Martin

Gavin, There is a man who advertises in the classified ads in Kitplanes magazines who sells plans to build PSRU's. I don't recall his name, but the name of his business is "Reductions". I believe he is located in Canada. I bought a set of plans from him and was well satisfied with them. He also sel

HI all I've been looking back through the archives about PSRU's for Subaru engines, and in about 2001 there was some posts about plans to construct one. I intend to build my own and most of the parts are available in my home town. Can anybody direct me to anyone who has the plans available plea
