tail rotor shaft drive in the boom for the RW
#2
I thought I would post where we are with the tail rotor upgrade, nearly there, some cooling fins to add, oil level sight glass to add, filler / breather cap to add, chip detector to add and a few other incidentals changes as we refine the design, but it is looking good. (the RW hub is just for appearance sake as the buyer will use his / her own RW hub and blades etc.
With this design I have the option of being able to slightly rotate the T/R attach cone on the boom so the tail rotor can have an upward thrust as well as a sideways thrust, this will, I Hope go some way to reducing the need for the ballast weight as there can be an upward thrust on the boom making it more level in a hover, this will need to be tested. I will be spinning the tail rotor itself slightly higher rpm as well so a little more thrust as well.
