Default Pinion gear position?

I was wonderring which way to put the pinion gear on my himax motor/GB combo. Should the hub part of it be behind the spur gear(close to motor) or on the other side of spur gear nearer to the end of the motor shaft. Does this matter? I would like to put it close to motor but I see pics in magazines and adverts that show many of them the other way around. Since I don't fly at a club or around others it would be nice to get some advice on this here. thanks

hi, tunnelvishon, i am a lot like you, i dont fly in any club and i do solo a lot cos i enjoy quiet flying, i fly the himax motor and its GB too, and i have done both ways, with the pinion hub close to the motor and outside the spur gear, apparently, there is no difference. it works well both ways !! let me know if you come across some other comments !! take care / crazymustang
