Vario Sky Fox - Benzin - Evolution - Xtreme > Benz boom length and torque tube length

I am helping a buddie with his benzin. We put the 900mm boom on, but I am unsure what size to cut the torque tube that comes much longer than needed/ fits. Does anyone know what size to cut or how much to recess inside the boom to make it fit accuratelly?

I dont know much about vario's other than I would like one. Can you guys help me out or shoot me in the right direction? I know this should be in the gasser section, but I am on lunch break at work and in a hurry.


thanks

A bit tricky to explain but if the Benzine is anything like the Bergen, here goes.

Assemble the boom as you would if the torque tube were cut to the proper length. When you push the boom into the frames, let the tail gear box hang away from the end of the boom on the torque tube. Measure from the end of the boom to the shoulder on the tail gearbox. This will give you the length that you need to remove.

Hey, I guess that wasn't so bad after all.
Hope this helps,

Thats correct except after you measure the amount to chop off, Vario tells you to cut off an additional 1mm so the tube will move very slightly back and forth.

Too much in what respect? You would have to cut the torque tube too short by almost 10mm to have a problem with the claw couplers. I have had a problem when it was cut to the exact length.
