To all:Can any of you provide information about the article or articles in SportAviation that appeared, I believe, in the 70's, about the PSRU designed byBud Rinker, using the gear reduction box from a Type 2 (bus) Volkswagontransaxle. The system is commonly referred to as a Rinker redrive or RinkerPSRU, and can be used to reduce prop speed on the Corvair engine. VerticalSystems, the outfit that markets the plans set for it, seems to have droppedoff of the face of the earth. I've contacted the EAA library, but they wereunable to give me any solid leads. I'm certain that either Bud Rinker hadan article published or that someone else did, about his system. However,EAA is unable to do a search that far back by author name, and none of thetitles they cited mentioned the Rinker PSRU (not directly in the title. I'mcertain the information is there, but I can't seem to locate it. Help!Mark BoyntonGilbert, AZ ________________________________________________________________________________

Warren,Thanks. The kicker is that Vertical Systems no longer has an internet site,and a phone call results in "that number has been disconnected or is nolonger in service..."

Warren......and any other interested parties. I think the mystery is solved. I cameacross some papers I'd archived a while back - a response to an e-mail Isent to Vertical Systems when they were still up and running. I did asearch on the net, by name and state, for the home phone number of theindividual who responded, and got a hit in Santa Barbara. On the off chancethat it might be the same person that responded to my e-mail, I made a calland it was. He still has the plans for the Rinker PSRU and they still areavailable. He plans on reposting on the internet some time in the future.If any of you are interested, I have the information. Warren, I may haveput you to some unnecessary running around.
