Innova Parts Compatibility
I had a tail-drive pulley break on landing. I didn't think that it was a hard landing, but one of the tail blades was shattered....
After swearing-off MyRCMart after they sold me second-hand blades as new. I couldn't find a spare pulley anywhere, so I went to my LHS and replaced the KDS tail drive pulley with the identical part for a Logo 500. It's absolutely identical. For a spacer, the guy in the LHS suggested a spare main bearing, and what do you know, it's a perfect fit. So this is one part that is completely compatible.

Tail Shaft
The Logo tail shaft is NOT a drop-in replacement. The Logo shaft is 2mm longer, and the locking-pin hole position differs by 7mm. Which means that you cannot use the KDS tail pulley on the Logo shaft.
I used the Logo tail pulley, one of the KDS brass tail bushes and 4 450 Pro main shaft shims before all the latteral play was gone. Then the tail shaft is only half way into the left hand bearing, so it got a daub of locktite. Also, the longer shaft means that at center slider, there's a ton of pitch towards the tail case, at full right rudder it will be quite easy to stall the tail, and left piros might be quite sluggish. I'm probably going the have to grind a new flat-spot and move the tail hub inwards some.

Main Shaft
The main shaft seems to be completely unique. Neither Mikado nor Align parts will fit.
Any ideas? Somebody commented that it looks a lot like a Raptor main shaft.

Sorry, doesn't seem to be any info online about what works.
The only thing I have on mine from another heli is a colored tail stabilizer from a logo. Keep us posted if you find out anything! |

Tail parts
I replaced the whole tail box with mikado ...kds vice versa... you have to change teh whole box bearings and all..teh KDS ones are cheap...but yeh ...shaft is diff bearings are diff etc... mikado make their main shafts a half mm or so bigger than align just so you have to use thier swash and slider etc... therye great lik that ..but most other KDS and mikado bits are interchangeable..i have both brands and can still switch all sorts between them..
just my exp with them cheers |
