Aluminum parts

My Xmseller metal head assembly and tail assembly came in todays mail :YeaBaby: Super fast, I just ordered it this past friday.

The quality looks excellent to me, especially for the money. No play in any of the joints.

In another thread two people were talking about the hassle of doing something with the bearings. What was that about ? The bearings are all installed on the head I received.

I went out flying the MT this evening and did not have enough time left to do the install. I might wait until this weekend when I will have all day to do the install and tweak the tracking and tail set up.

Okay I could not wait until the weekend to try it. I installed the head yesterday evening. Put the OEM blades on and made all the linkage adjustments this afternoon. She flies great. Real smooth. Tracking was dead on with no adjustments. :thumbup:

Ran out two packs and decided to try the Align 325 Pro woodies that would not track with the OEM head. Get the Align's installed and gently put the MT into a hover at eye level. The blades are about 1/2" apart at the tips. :mad: I think here we go again. Took one turn on the blue taped blade and the blades are now about 1" apart. I put the blue blade back where it was and took one turn on the red blade. Dead on ! :smokin:

I thought before and still think the TT plastic spacers had something to do with the Align's not tracking with the OEM head. The Xmseller metal head came with aluminum washers for spacers. Two on each blade was too much and one left a small gap which I closed by tightening the blade bolts. In other words I just clamped the grips down on the blades. Does doing this in small amounts cause any harm ? The gap I had was about 1/2 a washer thickness.

The only thing I do not like so far about the Xmseller head is the way the blades bolt on. You have to use a wrench on the nut. I like having a pocket for the nut to fit into so I can tighten or loosen the blades with one tool, a hex driver.

Next I will get the Xmseller tail unit installed and tested.
