Torque Tube - Pillow Block Or Bearing Cage?

[mars5887]

Hello everyone,

I am looking at the plans for the S1-11 and trying to decide if there is any advantage to installing the torque Tube via a "bearing cage welded to the top of the fuselage floor/pendulum style" -ala, S2B, C and M12 or if I should stick with the original "below the fuse floor, pillow block style" installation.

Any thoughts or reasons why the newer models are the bearing cage style and pros/cons of each?

Thanks,
Rob
