My Posts This: Topic Forum | Main pulley mod done.
Here is a photo showing the main pulley on the shaft. The plastic pulley needs to be modified for this setup, I machined out the center shortened it, then glued a new center hub into it. This uses the same pin that the old gear used. No changes here.
You can see the mount needs a slight adjustment in the upper step and hole location as the boom has a downward angle right now.
For a simple test, I put a shaft in the tail pulley. Holding this by hand was able to power up it up. No gear sound here!
This is going to work !
Now I will create the first batch of adapter plates in black, and start to work on the tail section. I am considering creating a new tail box (Like the shogun), but with the sizes we need to would replace the current HB and still use the rest of the HB parts.
Cost is an issue, I figure using more of the stock HB parts will save funds. However there willl be a cost in using my Tailbox if I do it.
Bottom line, this gives everyone options. I will offer the adapter plate for those who like to mod, and a more complete setup that will have all the custom parts.
I still need to get this airborne, after that I will make the stuff available. A few more weeks (Not Century time!)
What is even more amazing to me, I have access to better resources then most. This process has not been that hard, if I had the resources that century has this would be so simple and cost so little to make available to all.
