Youngblood originated the SA for heli's by changing only the 2nd to final gear

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Today, I did the conversion of a metal-gear 8411
to the SA version....only left the metal OUTPUT gear in place, replacing all
the others. It sure seems smooth, slop-free, tight, and
powerful.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I think I heard about this
(leaving the metal output gear installed) from Troy Newman....or someone else
I can't recall...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Question - does this work over the long
haul? Any downside effects of leaving the output metal?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Appreciate any experience here.</FONT></DIV><FONT
