The design of the Housai and M-14P generators are different in how the
lower bearing on the generator is oiled. Hence, the pinion drive gear
is different.
I have attached three pictures of the M-14P pinion drive gear here.
Note the gear has a metal plug at the base. The Housai gear does not.
In the B&C application, this metal plug serves two purposes:
1) it keeps oil out of the bottom of the alternator during aerobatics
(a very good thing), and;
2) it provides support to the male shaft that fits into the female
splined part of the pinion gear. Without this support, the male shaft,
due to gravity, vibration, etc will fall out of the shear coupling that
is on the alternator. When this happens, the alternator stops spinning
(now you are flying off battery power only). This can also cause the
shear coupling in the B&C design to fail. (the shear coupling is
replaceable and is there to protect the engine in the rare case of a
bearing in the alternator seizing).
Bill (owner of B&C) was considering making an injection moulded male
shaft with a collar on it that would prevent the shaft from falling out
of the shear coupling. This only solves item 2. However, he did have
one customer who had a hole worn thru the metal plug after many hours of
flying. So, the injection moulded part was to prevent this from
happening. What is unknown is what the wear on the collar may/will be.
I hope this helps.
Craig

I'm a lurker/n00b who is transitioning to active shopper for a CJ-6.
What's the best source for 'chutes? I've searched the web and prices seem to vary
as much as $1,000 for the same 'chute (something like a Softie seat 'chute).

Pete,
I ordered my chute from Strong at the Oshkosh gathering and have been
very happy. They are familiar with the CJ-6A and have one that fits
perfectly. Given them a call and they'll walk you through the various
options available. Take a look at:
www.strongparachutes.com/pages/pc_squadron_warbird.php
This is one item where you do not want to cut corners. I'm sure that
others on the list will have suggestions as well.

My parachute rigger seems to always have a source for used rigs. He's a good guy
and a fellow skydiver. Be careful as some manufacturers have defined life
spans on their seat rigs. I have two 10 year old seat packs that look like new
but cannot be legally repacked.

Parachute Shop as well. Got a great price on two seat pack softies with acro harness.
I suggest you try on as many chute types as you can and think about what configuration
your a/c seat will be in (back cushion vs no back cushion etc.) The CJ
is not that comfy to begin with and a crappy chute makes it downright agonizing.

funny thing....I just looked for the web site for this chute and it has a picture
of my kid wearing it!
We both love this setup
