[R-390] Clutch!

[G4GJL]

Barry, et al.,

How many degrees of rotation do you need to get satisfactory disengagement?

My 390As all seem to need 270 to 360 deg. My R391 needs a lot 
less....maybe90deg only.
Is there a difference in the designs here? I have not had the 391 apart to 
look at the mechanism closely.
