Reduction Drive System for the Type 1 VW!
 |
| The NEW Series 3 Reduction Drive is available in drive ratios from 1.6:1 up to 2.5:1. Props used vary from 72 inch x 40 inch pitch up to 96 inch x 56 inch pitch. It greatly improves the take off and climb performance of any high drag VW powered aircraft that needs more thrust. On a 2180cc engine with a 1.6:1 drive and a 72 inch prop, you will see about 350 lbs. of thrust. On a 2.0:1 drive and an 84 inch prop will pull about 450 lbs. of thrust. You get the idea! (A direct drive VW with a 62 inch prop will pull about 215 lbs. of thrust.) |
