We have had a T/R belt failure just after coming in to land in the hover 2 up confined area, total destruction of the RW.
Just wondering if the Vee belt could be upgraded as there has been a lot of improvements in belt technology.
this came up in a google search as maybe a better belt for our application.optibelt SUPER XE-POWER PROHigh performance wedge belts - raw edge, moulded cogged
