That's a real good point. The designer of the model kit Masayuki Suzuki is a very famous Japanese FF designer. I'm sure if I built the kit it would work. The kit is kind of a sport model and probably would fly fine with or without the gears. Another problem is with the thicker motor is that it will only handle about half as many winds as a thinner motor. The gears should make up the difference but they don't. I have to admit that my results are tainted by the book Flying Scale Models. Although they don't really say why it won't work they do mention that it probably won't work to use gears.
