Am I the First?

[SYMAWD]

Am I the first to strip out the main shaft retaining collar? Anyone wanna guess why I was taking the collar off in the first place?

Hints:
1. I didn't crash
2. The idea came from the mSR forum
3. It works in theory

swash leveling. my friend stripped his out on his 400 , i had a pinion strip out the threads for the screw at least.

Not swash leveling. I stripped the collar, not the screw. I tried with three screws, all had same result.

2 more hints:
1. I am paranoid of tail motors
2. Spend more time in the mSR forum

You're not running a rubberband from the main shaft to the tail shaft are you? Hehe.

[SYMAWD]

Mojappa is the winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It did spin the tail, just no where near fast enough.

[marcoeldragon]

Oh god someone figure this out he's toying with us.

Yeah, not to be an a$$ but the tail needs to spin about 4 times faster than the main rotors. Not gonna work without gears of some kind to increase the ratio of tail to main rpm. That's crazy that I guessed it cause I was just being a smarta$$.

[SYMAWD]

I knew it would not work but still had to try it. I was aware of the tail has to spin faster thing too. If my LHS has the collars I will be getting one.

did not realize there was a second page, is that really what you were doing, thought you got one of the tail belt conversion kits.

[SYMAWD]

Yes, I really used a rubber band. Lets just say at full throttle and no main blades, the tail didn't spin fast enough to produce any yaw. My stupidity cost $2.99.

Not stupidity, exploration for knowledge.

i bet if you would have used 3 rubber bands one of witch was extra long and you could wrap it around the shaft and the tail a few times that it might have worked. lol..

heck it was worth a try. u know. off to work
