I got the impression that that was what he was aming for, I wasn’t certain
that it would work tho as the coupling could just swing any which way. You
could mount the coupling straight on the rotor arm but it wouldn’t be at

He wanted 2,5 stud offset. Because the magnets swivel around their horizontal
axes they have no problem to overcome this minor height difference.

I might take you up on your offer/challenge to do an FTX page but I’ll have

If you do, I would appreciate that you mention some credit for my solution.
