Ok so i just have to ask.....with the new light weight hulls like the mystic whos going to strap in a pair of blow torches out of something like the F15 and use just thrust? bet it would work and put on a show and some thunder for the spectators i remember seeing a big rig at the drag races a few years ago it had a single big maybe j79 engine i really did not take it to serious even during its show staging but when that thig took off it was amazing it even had the purple shock balls in the exaust it left us stunned..... to this day i,m surprized at how fast that thing accellerated! hey geico imagine hitting the afterburner coming into and out of key west for a little excitement!

Maybe it's just me... but thrust alone on someting that acutallydoes go airborne with unpredictable attitude is just kind of..scarey.. The dragster has 4 wheels on the ground controlling direction. Put that much thrust behind a mystic and as soon as it got a little air and got light, it would pobably resemble a ballon someone let the air out of..

As I stated in post 96 of starter relocation. the t53 has a accessory drive.
This would be a good place to attach a power steering pump. Ex. direct
drive KRC.

Here is a picture of the accessory gear it is at 2:00 oclock.

This is looking into the intake side with the planetarys removed.

Here is the way I rigged the power steering and alternator.

The drawback to this when I make a shift i loose the power steering
for a second.
It works but i am considering using the above idea.

KR, is it easy to find the accessory drive unit and what is the approx. cost for one ?
