There is one at our field with a geared setup but it was a lot of work and doesn't look as good. The AXIs really work great and this plane was designed for the 2208. I actually really prefer the firewall mount and am going to try similar setup on our home made planes. I seen the nesail.com Bead 3D uses exacly what I was thinking.

But these self wind CD ROM motors would probably be really great for the money but I can't seem to find any, and not sure they can mount as clean as the AXI.

Anyone know of a good supplier?
