Any flyers with the 620. What is overall length of the main shaft? Is it reduced in diameter at any place?
I need a little longer shaft, even if I have to cut one shorter, for my Swift 16. I can't get enough pitch out of it. Stock/udgrade parts limit me to around 10 ish degrees +/-.


EDIT: OOPS title says MAINE shaft. Freudian slip?? I'm from Main.

Should've bought a sim. Got a bucket of used blades!

10mm diameter for all shafts.

190mm original hollow still shipping with the 16 model (well at least the last one I purchased jan 09, still NIB, came with such)

They also have a solid one same size.(double bearing)

200mm for the triple bearing one which fits ALL swift models (16,550,620)

if not mistaken, its practically the same head across the swift line except 4mm flybar.

Some have cut off 2mm off the washout guides for that extra couple of degrees.

Best of luck!

I've cut the pins, I have the metal swash and all metal head EXCEPT blade grips. The plastic grips seem to act like a fuse in a crash. I have the third bearing block installed and I still have problems getting much more than 10 degrees each way. There is plenty of servo travel ,if I want it, There just isn't enough main shaft available to get what I need.
