hi,

one of my biggest fear is loosing tail-control.

any advice when it's time to change the belt?
~ 200 flights so far, always lubing the belt with silicon spray.
medium hard flight style, medium power setup (Pyro 700).

btw:
changed the motor belt after ~120 flights (version "Gates PG GT 3", delivered with the first batches) after it split up

running "Contitech HTD 3M" (also delivered on the other batches) now

thanks a lot !

The tail belt should last a long time if properly tensioned. Basically just check it for any fraying or cracking etc.

Anyone else silicon the tail belt? I haven't bothered with my 450x, hd 500 and wasn't planning to with my mostro.

I assume no static issues? The boom mounting to the mono block seems like it would have good continuity to the motor.

I started using the White Lightning clean ride lube, it's not messy and some users are reporting good experience with it.
