Gals and Guys:
As some of you know, I recently acquired an Intrepid 46
with an OS50 in it.
The machine simply flies as smooth as a sewing machine!
I love the belt drive for my style of flying and am not presently
considering upgrading to the torque tube. BUT, what I do desire
is to keep the TR belt system and CHANGE the entire rear
transmission to something a bit more precise.
(The 90º bell crank on mine is un-bushed and wear has affected
the BC mounting plate.) As you know, the Pitch slider slides
on the ball in the detent of the pitch side of the BellCrank, and
if the 3mm bolt is any looser, the ball 'could' pop out in flight.
I am wondering if I can change this out to a better rear end!?
Anyone? BTW, it is the 21mm OD Tail Boom.
Thanks!
Byron
PS, Chris was right, the Gasser Canopy is BIGG!
But I am planning on painting her up and wishing
for a Gasser! (I may try fitment on the 50!) It's COOOOOL!

Sounds like you could use the bearing upgrade for the T/R bellcrank.

Give Bergen a call (269)445-2060. I'm sure they can fix you right up.

GOT IT!

Thanks Mal!
I talked to Chris this afternoon and got
the alum bell crank and the bearing set up.
Mine IS bushed and the alum PLATE is worn.
The new one is threaded 3 mils.
New TR drive belt, in CASE....!
And the set of head dampner O rings!
All is well in nebraska!
Thanks again!
Byron
Note to self: Small ball to the pitch slider!
