Post Surface Drive Build
So after a long tail build I am ready to move on to a surface drive and I have a question for those of you that have built before. What are you doing to handle the end force on the drive shaft? I will be using a 16hp engine for this build. Any pictures would be great as well.

I am not sure but didn't want to have to cross that bridge. A new 35GTR is ALOT cheaper than court costs/lawyer fees.

I always thought it was infringement if you intended to sell it for profit. If you did it for yourself, without the intent to sell, I always thought it was cool.

Common misconception.
Making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing all constitute patent infringement. See 35 USC 271. Even making parts that "could" be used to infringe a patent is contributory patent infringement.
