OLYMPUS: The original toothed belt electric drive unit (another MFA innovation!). 2.3 : 1 reduction enabling large (up to 12" diameter glow engine type or folding) propellers to be driven by 500 - 600 size electric motors. Gives increased thrust due to the better efficiency of large diameter props. Absolutely ideal for scale models where the direct drive prop always looks wrong and also powered gliders using a large folding prop. Ball race for thrust and side loads and oilite rear bearing. Glass filled nylon mouldings with industrial quality toothed drive belt. 6.35mm (l/4") diameter prop shaft with 1/4 UNF thread. Weight with Rocket 500 motor 199g. O.A. length with motor 10Omm. O.A. height with motor 64mm.

MINI OLYMPUS: 2.3 : 1 gear reduction unit to suit the 400 (380) size motors. Enables large diameter propellers (8" either glow engine type or folding) to give greatly increased performance on these smaller electric flight motors. Uses a ball race for thrust and side loads and oilite bearing, glass filled nylon mouldings with large section gears for long life. 5mm diameter prop shaft with M5 thread. Weight with Rocket 400 motor 95g. O.A. length with motor 82mm. O.A. height with motor 45mm.
