I remember reading somewhere that the motor used to drive the 40 ton 200inch telescope at Mt. Palomar was a 1/12th horsepower electric motor gearedway down. Of course the bearings supporting the telescope were aboveaverage in quality.Jack -----Original Message-----

Chris,I'm using 2" pulleys with plain bronze bushings. They're a bit thinner andI'm not expecting enough control force or flight time for wear to be aconsideration. But it sounds like you have a good solution, so yourscertainly aren't the "wrong" type.Gene________________________________________________________________________________
