 This drive uses a 6 pinion planet set (vs. the 4 pinion used in the RD-1A). See photo below

First flight testing of the RD-1B was done on February 25, 2001.  Due to the similar construction and design of the already proven on our RD-1A drive (no longer available), we felt that a long flight test program before announcing the B version was not necessary. (A complete inspection of the drive was performed on 7/03/02, and everything looks perfect.  This is after 250 hours of flight, including quite a bit of high speed testing. When the RVOtter was updated to the RD-1C drive, the RD-1B had 500 hours. A complete inspection showed no signs of wear or abnormalities).
