I might try one if Futaba made it.

Cat's out of the bag now. Unless it's patented, I expect to see them cropping up everywhere. Even with a patent, the big guys will cough up the royalties.

Just snug. Too tight will cause bearing failure.

It's probably the same technology currently being used in the quad-copters.

Thanks, that's what I thought.
