giving up on it

[akphill]

OK the hkt500 is going away ;D

I have put dollar after dollar into this heli it is almost all align or copterx parts OK went to spool it up today and pitch setup was -3 to +10 in rate mode went to full throttle and it was glued to the ground
no lift ;D
Then all of a sudden the main gear just stripped

So I shut it down and was doing some checking when I noticed that the tail drive gear was stripped again an align part ;D
the 4Th one ;D

So I have come to the conclusion that the frame is out of whack and that there really is nothing that can be done for it ;D

so it will be dismantled and all the parts are going into the copterx 500 will see if this one is any better ??.

Will let everyone know when it is completed

Belt too tight? If not, what about trying a torque tube assembly in it?

Well Sol it could be but there are a bunch of post where people are elongating the mounting holes on the boom block's frame area because the spacing is too far apart ;D
As to why the main gear is stripping is any body's guess wear mark's on the pinion are where they are supposed to be

Could be bearing's or some where there is some flex going on ;D

I just decided that I have put way too much money into making this heli fly $300.00 into repairs parts and it still wont do it is enough.

Time to move on
