Got my new Open tail rotor G/B

[conrod]

Love my new gearbox, now if I can get more time on it I'd be happier :)

Don't know how the different gears would cause the TT to flex more unless you are applying more force w/ the new gearbox????

If the torque is flexing, I would be pulling it out and checking it for cracks along the length of the tube. I take pliers and hold each ball coupling on the end of the tube and I can not twist it. So what you might be seeing is slack between the couplings and also the front gear mesh.

I've got about 10 flights on this new gearbox..Yes in the sand..No wear showing at all..its Smooth....I really like it..I have 3 old style spare gearbox's now..I just cant justify ordering another open gear box...
