| Hurrican 50 Noisy Main GearsHi Clyde,
Thanks for your interest in my problem. Let me try and give you the whole story.I built the machine with the grey gear supplied and found it very noisy.When i took it back to my supplyer he said he had the same problem with his from new but after approx 10 flights he says his quietend down.At the same time he gave me a new blue gear which he recomended i fit as it was a laser cut job.This i fitted and flew the bird no difference.3 flights later im in a steady hover when all hell breaks loose fortunately get it on the ground.On investigation i have lost 4 teeth and levelled out 10 more.I now have another blue gear fitted 2 flights so far so good but same noise. Its all a bit of a worry,dosn't instill one with confidence if you get my drift.The only other prob i have had is that the clutch is a bit draggy at tickover.When i get these probs sorted i think i am looking at a real nice machine. Hope you can help.
Regards Chris.
