EPILOGUE:
I was not 100% happy with the vertical engine installation. If i had to do it over again i would mount the engine horizontal and use a 90 degree gearbox on the main rotor shaft and eliminate the chain drive main rotor set up and the belt tail rotor system. Use a shaft drive and gearbox for the tail rotor. I am working on another AW/95 helicopter with this drive system set up on it using a T62 Solar Turbine engine on it.
