[F500] Sprockets

[Jeff Blumenthal]

Gene:
 I use a Comet primary and Arctic secondary for Solo. I use the standard A-1
weights (around 48 gr) and the Aaen orange spring. Engagement is about 4500-4600.
To raise it a little you can use a shim or two.
  Regarding the sprockets; I'm currently using a 25/120 (4.8:1). I've never had
any problem with belt slipping/ratcheting  (although I don't have a Rotax
installed....yet).  I think you'd be OK with the 25/110 but you may want to
engage the primary closer to 5000 rpm to overcome the lower gearing. Hope it
helps.
