Here are a couple of pictures of the Spectra-G 3-D literally "unplugged". The top half of the machine easily removes from the drive section (lower part) by just removing 8-3 mm bolts and the boom supports from the lower plate (2-bolts). Then the upper section just pops right off of the lower, making maintenance very easy to do. After doing any work on either of the sections, just plug the uniball and driver pins back into the fan hub and put the screws back into the vertical ladder pieces. The alignment does not change and there is no need to do any lining up of anything, just plug and go!!
So far, I have found this frame set to be very crash proof as well. The machine unfortunately has taken a couple of very hard hits in crashes so far. Nothing within the frames has been broken, bent, or misaligned in any way. These frames are very robust, but yet lightweight! There has been no signs of any frame flexing during flight at all, so the dampers and main shaft bearings take nearly no wear at all.
These pictures were taken during a motor swap to the stock Zenoah G-231 from the TRM modified G-231 getting ready for the Mulberry event.
The initial motor installation involves mounting the carbon fiber motor back plate to the motor, installing this plate with six 3mm bolts to the bottom plate loosely (there are precision cut slots in the lower plate for adjustment) and then plugging the top section onto the lower one as described above. Then the clutch driver/fan hub gap is made equal front and rear and the six bolts tightened down and your done. This can be done in as little as 5 minutes!
Hope this helps!!
