Hey guys right now I'm rebuilding. I am wanting to fly my bird this morning this is the reason I posted in this section. My tail shaft is .001" out not the torque tube the tail shaft. I am in no hurry like everybody else that wants to fly but I want to make sure I don't damage anything. I think its a little too much myself. What do you think?

.001" out of what? out of round? sticking out of the tailbox too far?

i don't think .001" is critical on anything in our helicopters except the internals of IC motors. you're probably fine. but, it would be helpful to know the issue.

Sorry, It is out of round, I used a dial indicator to measure the wobble. I can feel a slight wobble on the tail control ball when I spin the shaft that's why I measured it.

nah...you're fine. i haven't even broken out my dial indicator since 2004.

only time i replace the TT is if there is a kink in it ;-)

Copy, thanks for your help buddy. All I needed to hear

For me, if I can see or feel the wobble, it is gone. You can test fly it and if it is an issue, then replace it. As for the measurement, that is pretty darn small.
