Torque Tub Bearings Using only one.

[jbdww]

Can I use only one bearing in the Torque Tub like the 600N. I messed up one bearing trying to glue it in. I was not paying attention like Bob told me to. I will try to get another one on order, but would like to fly it now.

Hey Joe,

I wouldn't recommend it - the TT is much longer than the 600 and it will most likely bend and get in contact with the tail boom inside causing vibration...

Patience is the key...;)

Is there a way to get CA out of a bearing. I have it loose by using finger nail polish remover, but it has resistance now. Other than that I have to order a whole new torqe tub as the bad bearing is stuck to the tube, and they are all sold out everywhere.

`There's no harm to try it and see - better than wasting a TT. Just CA (carefully!) your one bearing ~5cm off centre and give it a go - I''ll be very surprised if it's not OK

Agreed, I would just run it and pretend it never happened :)

Thank you guys. I will give it a try tommorow and any sign of trouble I will turn it off.

I flew the heli today and everything went well. I put a full galon throught it. No vibration at all. I did find a tourqe tube and have it on order and use this one for backup.
