[Public-list] Flexible shaft coupling

[George Dinwiddie]

 From all I can tell, a flexible coupling can alleviate some damage in 
the event of misalignment, but does not do so well enough that you don't 
need to worry about the alignment.  I would suggest doing as precise an 
engine alignment as you can.  Flexible couplings will then handle the 
temporary misalignments of the engine vibrating on the mounts.
