V1710-C15 Reduction Gear section

Sat Apr 21, 2007 1:05 pm

Does anyone have access to, or could point me in the direction of a sectional drawing through the internally geared reduction gear on the longnose C15 variant please?

Were there any reliability differences with this variant vs the more conventional external spur gear mesh versions?
