I woudn't use V belts - a properly set up toothed belt perhaps on a 4

V belts seem to be time-tested on the Rotorway. Some info here

.
I didn't realize that the belts were tied together in pairs. Anyway,
it seems like most use toothed belts. Harder for an amateur to
machine, but lighter and less friction than V belts I presume.
