| Yep, I want to slam some more on these one-ways! But first, what is up with the wobbling main gears?
My Main gear was wobbling so much, I bought a new one. Turns out the new ones were warped too!
So I tried the 5 different positions that the gear could fit on the Main Gear Case. Some of them were worse than others. As Murphy would have it, the 5th position I tried was the best.
So I tightened everything up and re-installed the gear in the heli.
This is my Sport which had the one-way lock up pretty good. Now there is significanty more slop than before due 100% to the one-way/Sleeve. Once installed, the main gear moves up/down and wobbles too much due to slop.
Also, what's up with the design of the One-way bearing and Sleeve fit? The shoulder of the sleeve fits on top of the one-way bearing. You have 2 surfaces sliding against each other with no bearings in between! There should be a radial bearing between this shoulder and the one-way! Can you imagine the friction between these 2 surfaces as the gear spins at high speeds!!?? 
I got a helicopter for my girlfriend,
It was a good trade! |
