Gday Fellow Rotor Heads
I just has a minor mishap with the 500GT and stripped a little chunk out of the pinion that meshes with the main gear and powers the drive belt. Note to self, nose in hovering and landing is HARD. I landed with a bit of rear motion and the tail rotor did some brief lawn mowing. It appears that I am going to have to fundamentally pull the thing apart to be able to pop the replacement in. Is there an easy way to access that part to swap it over when the new one arrives?
Cheers
