The Kalt Space Baron was a radical redesign to give modular construction that allowed for easy access to the engine; marketed in the US as the 'Enforcer' though reason for the different name not as yet determined.
Designed by the First world F3C champion, Shigetada Taya the design had a number of unusual features. The engine was inclined towards the main shaft by 20 degrees thus reducing the overall length and also giving better access to the starting cone. On other makes the starter had a tendency to be fouled by the main rotor which prevented it from being lined up correctly resulting in started cone wear and head damage. The main shaft was also driven by a unique planetary drive system incorporated in the main reduction gear which also included autorotation capability. The head was a 'flapping' type with the flexible plate made of thin steel which was easily and cheaply replaced in case of an accident.
One weakness in the design was wear on the clutch bell gear caused by main gear tooth wear especially at high revs, in September 1992 in the UK an aftermarket main gear was manufactured of a different material that did not wear as fast, there was also stainless balls that replaced the original type and reduced wear in the plastic links.
