    A518 tail shaft vs 727 tail shaft
    « on: November 13, 2012 - 11:46:45 AM »
    Dumb question if the A518 is based off the 727 design, and the OD in the A518 is in the tail-shaft  why can't the tail-shaft portion of the A518 be mated to the 727 and just replace the 727's tail shaft.

    Lack of oil pressure control circuits to control the OD I would think + the valve body would have to be different

    What CP said, plus the rear of the 727 is not even big enough to bolt the OD section onto.
