H1 tail rotor assembly vibrate

[HZM]

I finally got my hornet 1 working again. However, I tigthen the 2 set screw holding the beginning and end of the tail boom bcos it came loose during 1 test flight and I got a moment of Chinook Luckily no diasater. From then on, I got real bad vibration. I read from some forum we are not suppose to over tighten the set screw. Lets to hear what other hornet flyer do and feel. I am considering to switch to H2 frame and tail gear holder .... the set screw don sit right onto the boom.....but cost and operation put me off.

There have been a lot of complaints in this area. And a lot of thumbs up to the new design using clamps instead of set screw.

have you checked that your boom has no twist? or none of the fibres are flailed or frayed?

mike, probably u can give more specific details on the vibrations, like directional, affected region... etc....

[HZM]

only the end part of the tail boom where the tail rotor locate. It vibrate pretty badly upon tightening of the set screw. It goes off if I don tighten that much, but the chances of the schwezier swing into a chinook in split second is pretty high


By chance anybody know how much is the hornet frame as well as the tail assembly holder ......

hey mike the operation will cost you abotu 45 bucks if i remember right

something like 25 for the CF plate and 20 for some miscellaneous orignal MS screw or something

The guy with the cnc head i know did that to his H1 too.

Fit bought the lower CF plate and the LG...... ask him......

I think the conversion's worth it. Changing around the parts is easier with the current setup and if u are afraid of the drive being strained when u carry your Hornet around all you need to do is loosen the rear gear box screw and disengage the tail shaft from the tail drive so your tail rotor is not linked to your main....

DYeo, u got me wrong I want just the frame and "Y" shape thingy at the tail rotor and thats all. I will like to stick to the schwezier ..... just too cool

The old hornet 1 uses set screw that goes right onto the boom ....sigh........

Anyone else???

wah that's quite a bit too the main frame is something like 30 bucks if i remember right.

the Y shape thing as in the thing that holds the tail transmission and the one taht's clamp on right ?

i think that's 17 bucks .

my estimates probably quite off why don you call them up?

or better yet why dont you get some of their CNC parts for the rear huh ? haha

Mike,
I will take the CF blades for 60 bucks.

Mike,


Probably one side of your tail boom CF fibre got frayed, resulting in the rear portion being softer and less solid and you got the vibration..... Check the strength of your tail boom?

Either that or your tail drive rod is twisted...

[HZM]

So whats you guy solution? change the frame and tail assembly? ????
