This lockdown was so boring so I decided to convert my Nitro heli to Electric. I also converted the flybarred head to flybarless by modifying the exsiting head. The pinion to motor adapter is still in progress and would like to solicit the help of a machinist if we have a member. Here's the progress so far.
Attachment #1 - Battery tray completed
Attachment #2 - Head converted to flybarless
Attachment #3 - Pinion to motor adapter still in progress
The pinion adapter is quite straight foreward. I already have an aluminium rod 16mm in diameter. Work that needs to be done is to machine it to bore a 6mm home where the shaft of the motor will be fitted and secured with two set screws. Then one side will be threaded where the pinion is attached. Full details in Pinion Adapter V4 drawing. If somebody from our members is a machinist, can I get some help to make the adapter. I have the set screw, Pinion and the aluminium rod already. I'm happy to pay the machining cost.
The picture showing how the pinion is mounted in the adapter and motor was made by somebody in the US. I modified the profile of the adapter to make machining easier.
