What is the difference between belt vs tt on autoration performance? Does anybody have a guesstimate?
Keeping everything else on the helicopter exactly the same, if a belt driven 600N has for example 5 secs hangtime at the end of an auto, how much will it be with TT? 6 seconds? 7? More?

Just trying to decide whether change by belt driven tail to TT in the Future, I really like the belt tail because of it's maintenance simplicity and low cost.

If you're happy with the belt I don't think the change to TT is worth the cost, the difference in auto performance is barely measurable imho and there seem less problems with the belt setup.
