| im retardedi have made new, mainshaft,spindle,tailboom,flybar,tailshaft, tail pitch slider, and tail belt idler wheels, thers was almost no damage up front at all.
these are not stock parts, but will get me flying while the original parts come in.
for anyone interested heres what i made my parts out of
1. spindle --raptor 60 spindle cut drilled and tapper to size with lathe
2. mainshaft--spare vario 10mm shaft cut and drilled to size
3. tailboom--1 inch aluminum shower curtain rod cut and drilled to size
requires turning the inside diam of tail gearbox larger
4. flybar--excess 3/32 s/s rod i already had cuat and threaded to size
5. tail pitch arms--used the pitch mechanism from old gas xcell
plastic gearbox
6. tail shaft--had 3 spare xcell tail shafts cut and milled flat spots
7. tail belt idler wheels--made of delrin on lathe
the pipe had dents in it and 2 holes, i cut the pipe apart just before the baffles in the back, rolled out the dents, the holes almost sealed themselves, then tig'd it back together.
im waiting to order some parts for the tailboom supports, servo gears and a upper case and gears for the 601 servo, and governor control box which never worked anyway.. does any one know what diam the carbone tubes for the tailboom supports is.
i wanna fly this again, you can probably tell!!!!!!!
i had a feeling that reversing the grips may have caused it, you guys have just confirmed my idiosy..ill try again this weekend |
