[ Failure ] Tail Rotor belt failure
#11
The belts with the proper numbers specified 20 in a box on the belt, have been working just fine for over 30 years. I think it would be foolhardy to go off looking for a different belt. The long length of the belts we use , makes the very small twist negligible and has proven to be no problem at all.
This continual search for fixes for problems that don’t exist is dangerous. I certainly hope that you didn’t tell the belt supplier that we were using these on a helicopter. Next thing will be that supplier will quit selling us these belts that we’ve been running since 1995. We’ve tested them LONG ENOUGH!!! They work fine!!
