my lightning series ceramic bearings finally arrived on thursday. 2weeks it took to arrive from boca bearing.copter x is now fitted with main shaft bocas and full boca at blade grips. test flown with new 315mm align pros. not good. slow pitch reaction. will change back to 325mm. apart from bearings, after the last crash, copX now has new align alum frames, new boom, new servo gears for aileron (mix match hb wit mg), new carbon tail blade, new main and feathering shaft and changed skid to repaired stock. very smooth purring due to new bearings.
as for miss brunei, she now has bocas for main shaft and starter/clutch. finally found out the cause for the knocking sound. one way bearing for clutch was missing 2 bearing rollers. didnt order this coz jus found out during cleaning. went to skf but they were also out so they ordered from their branch in miri, shuld arrive on monday. managed to fix the one way by replacing the rollers with some metal shaft cut to length. m.b wil have to fly with a handicap this funfly.
will test and tune my newly serviced 0s50 tomoro plus see how the bearings perform. bought new fuel. wil try out the old sidewinder 25%. have to add a bit of toplube for cooling tho.
to the field and beyond.. c u der
