how do these gears sound????

[nightstalker]

Well, this is the point I'm at! Is that "clicking" ok??? dumb question, but it's not binding at all - just loud. If you notice when I turn the clutch bell only, it's quiet, and no binding EVER...just loud.

What do you guys think??!!??

mmhh, sound to me lik ethe crown gear mess might not be correct.
Take a look at this tripic, and look at the picture of the crowngear (from Dr.Phil)

I replied:

Hi
I would move the pionen a bit forward so that is is centrered on the crowngear.
I dont adjust the gears as in the manual.
I center the pionen on the crowngear, loosen both clamps on the mainaxle.
Then I lift the heli in the main grips, and then push down the lower claps and tighten it.
Then i place the heli on the table, and push up the upper clamps.
It has worked perfect for many years, and it was a tip from Eric Larson

My Stratus also make some noise when turning the grears, but not as loud as yours...

My spectra sounded like that after a few flights just needed to tighten the mesh a little.

Back in the X-Cell days I uses a piece of paper to set the mesh. Typing paper seemed to thick so I used two ot three layers of tissue paper. I would expect a bit of noise. If in doubt set the mesh on the tight side, but without binding as it will wear in.
