Belt Drive E7 - Right Rudder Travel - Do not use all of it!!
« on: October 13, 2011, 08:01:00 PM »
On the E7 Belt Drive Kit....Do not use all of your right rudder travel. You will stall the tail blades when the gyro is trying to compensate!
Leave a 4mm gap between brass slider and tail box flange bearing. See shitty picture for illustration of correct amount of travel.

Thanks,

Matt

Is it 4mm from the bearing itself or 4mm from the bearing housing?

I am using the torque tube tailbox if that makes a difference

From the bearing to the slider. Hope that helps.

I believe if you are using the torque tube tail box you need to use all available rudder travel. Matt's recommended 4 mm gap is for the belt drive version.
