What ever happened to it?
MA was going to bring it on the market soon.
After just having recently done engine upgrades to all three of my X-Cell, I concur that it is the top collet that pulls the alignment off-line.
I am ready to purchase 3 of them.

Alfred,
I believe it is one of the less priority projects till the Razor is released and on the market. Tim says he still plans to make them.
Would be a little expensive and difficult for you to call MA in Sorrento Florida USA since you live in Australia.

Thanks Chris and David
Yes, it would be a bit expensive to call from here :D
That's fine
I just wanted to find out if the idea had been dropped.
All my engines are installed and running, but I would like to get them when they come on to the market.
So that next time, they would be at hand.

I never would have posted it if I didn't know it to be a fact. Sorry you had to waste a phone call.

Are the "Brass/Collet Fan Nuts" out yet? I just dialed in my fan and it was such a pain.

No the collet/nut for the fan is not out.
But stay tuned for an interesting development.

Come to Bham and you can most likely get the information directly from Tim <G>.
David
What do you guys think it could be ? :?
I love suprises :D

It's pretty cool. I am trying one out now, and it takes all of two minutes to install the fan onto the motor once it has been balanced. Oh yeah, it dials to .0005 every time :D Hopefully this design will carry forward and MA will be selling it as soon as possible.

No photos as of now, havent gotten a chance to snap a pic.- still working on some design changes too. IF any of you are going to Phoenix, AZ or B-Ham Al in the next few weeks, I will be flying it on my model.

And how is anybody going to see it, if it is installed?
You might be telling stories :wink:
3 months to bring out a set of collets? Come on guys, you can do better then that.
This is quite an important item as their are a lot of pilots out there with slightly high vibs, spatially on the Stratuses.

No collets. They are not going to be needed. Talked to Tim at the Bham event. He has something new coming. This will be just put it in place and tighten the nut on the crankshaft.

Is anyone flying the fan yet ?
How easy does it go on ?
How many parts does it add to the heli ?
what is the weight ?
I am curious to what they are working on ?

Any news on the collet, fan or whatever it is? I was thinking of re-checking my fan again but I hate the idea of dial-indicating it. It seems like it's the only part of building the heli that's not fun. :(
