View Full Version : Tail Shaft assembly question

I have referred to the assembly instructions several times, and it seems to me that the only thing keeping the tail rotor shaft centered is the drive belt. I have flown several gallons through my raptor 50v2 with this in mind. Well finally, the bearing on the tail rotor side completely disintegrated, no bearing left only the casing. Is this a known problem? Did I miss something?

The tail rotor shaft is centered by the pully (if assembled correctly) on the inner race of the tail shaft bearings.
If its not put together right there is play.

Thanks a million......I have been looking at the instructions for months.....and I missed that one thing......I did indeed have the flat side of the flang facing inwards....I must have looked at that a million times and never noticed....Well reassembly will come soon.....
Thanx
