im out for a week "tail case bearings"

[gregg25]

today i noticed something i had seen yesterday and kept trying to find the shaking however had no idea what it was finally broke down and tore the tail case down and low and behold the right case bearing was super notchy i guess it was ready to go at 30-60 or so flights i hit the tail fin on the ground a long while back so i dont think that did it but its so bad when i was flying the fin was resonating bad not gyro wag but vibe shakes. i'm going to do a pulley shaft and belt while i have her on the bench.

The tail bearings are pretty common, should be able to get them anywhere if you wanna get it back in the air quick.

I saw a bunch of them online ended up ordering them from ny. I got the shaft too just in case. My wife sells lots of them for wood working lathes and such so if she can get those tomorrow I will get extras ( timiya) and rc 10 cars use the same size bearings too I heard. That's why I had trouble getting my tail to hold with the beastx and drifting as well I'm sure. Click click click feeling .

Yes the larger bearings are very common! My LHS has a huge box full of small drawers of bearings.. the head and tail bearings are very easy to find. And they were like $1.00 each (for me at least)...

now those tiny flanged bearings in the tail and those types are a bit trickier... :)
