My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Is it a Kalt Enforcer? Measure the width and length and compare with the Shuttle, Raptor 30, or other 30 size. I think the British version was called a Kalt Space Baron.

Is the belt a Bando type belt? Don't laugh, but I think you can get them from a vacuumn cleaner or sewing machine repair shop. I heard that when I had a Kalt Baron 28, which had a music wire tail drive, but the start belt was worn and someone told me matter of fact that, that is where I could get any size Bando belt as an alternate source.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		It is a Baron 30S
Belt driven tail. Different size than the Raptor as it uses a gear drive for the tail.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Jim did you send me a PM? I lost it accidently.

I had a Kalt Baron 28 and 2 Kalt Enforcers with wire drives. I see that the Baron 30S is available with belt drive and a conversion kit was also available. HeliProz used to carry the Kalt line. Rick who is still there knows Kalt. You might call him and ask what he knows is available.

Is the belt 3/16"x72" ? There are belts of varing sizes on-line from several suppliers. I'm sure Kalt picked an existing size to keep costs down. The Bando belts are used in all sorts of household appliances. Vacuums, sewing machines, mixers, you just have to get the size down. I think they also use them in some scooters. In the mean time post the size belt and I'l look around and if I find it, I'll post here.

Type in their search engine: "timing belts"

Then look for XL series belts. I did not see a 545XL which the number is supposed to indicate outside circle length and the 545 is size. I would call them and see if they can find it for you. Measure the width and "outside circle length"

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Wow, does that bring back memories. I reviewed that heli for Mike Mas's Rotory Modeler magazine way back when. The kit I had, came directly from Japan.

If it is indeed the Bando 564XL-UK GK belt that you need, then it is the same belt used on the TSK Mystar 30.

PM me and I can arrange to get you one.
