Update: All that graphite burnish appears to have payed off, If I push the bottom large gear to spool up the gearbox, the whole thing will coast for 19 seconds! I feel this is quite good for gears that have not had a chance to run in yet.
The plywood on this kit is approx 1mm thicker than other kits I have seen from this maker, also the parts fit together without the need for high force, it would seem the maker is getting better at these kits.
