John,
You are right but I mentioned that the coupler is captive. It won't
come apart like a U-joint and is not a driveshaft in common terms and
it can't whip. The thing that I WILL shield is the V-belt so if it
breaks, it won't hurt the chute or fuel return systems. Maybe the
"tech board" could complete the rule book and make it easier.......
