Since I only looked at the thing and did not have the ability to take it apart, I may well have missunderstood some things. I could tell that the hub would not turn left or right, but it looks to me like the top will tilt in with nothing to restrain it (no axel). Am I wrong?
It does look to me like ERA modified the design to minimize my issues.
I can say if it works like I assume, I wouldn't choose it, but if I already had it I would use it. I would be cautious with it, but that's me.
Buy the way I like the bumble bee analogy. You may have me pegged, but again I wouldn't design an air plane based on the bumble bee as a starting point with so many other better examples out there.
