General Broken shaft :(

[D.O.G.]

I don't know how many times I've bent, twist or screwed up a feathering shaft on one of my many crashes but I never broke one in 1/2 til today

Judging by the amount of dirt, there is one hell of a story behind that one.

Damn that sucks. Crazy that metal was that brittle

+1, it looks like it hit the ground pretty hard. The steel in these shafts is (or at least should be) hardened, so it won't stretch/bend much before it breaks.

Yeah It looks like the 450 hit the ground pretty hard but in all honesty, not really. That 450 has hit the ground alot harder before and from alot higher too. My Could of been the angle that the heli hit the ground or maybe like everything else in life, the quality has gone down

I've heard that the Tarot feathering, and main shafts were not as strong as say Align is. They do seem to make a good head though. I like mine on my 450 Pro.

Yep, the Tarot spindles are not very strong at all. I bent mine like it was butter just from a small blade strike

I bent the Align one before but it didn't break

Did you roll that on a piece of glass? I'm not really sure that shaft is bent! Lol!!!!

That's why you need a 570. Lol

Hey Uri, thanks for answering me about that 9XR Pro. I should have it sometime this week and hopefully get a chance to mess with it a bit this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes as soon as I get it setup.

 

[murankar]

If you have not done a setup before allocate an hour.

 

[KLA]

Yeah at least an hour.
