[higgsy09]

i know it has been covered before, i need to get some new bearings , skyline list spare parts for the os engine but no pics so im not sure what the part numbers are for the bearings, does anyone know or know where i can get some.

Do a search for 6902 bearings without any seals or shields they are 15 x 28 x 7mm. You should be able to find them around £3 or £4. Consider them as consumables and don't pay the OS prices. If you can't discern when bearings are going bad look for bearings with the platic retainer.

The front bearing doesn't go in a hurry and probably won't need changing. Its part number is R6ZZ.

thanks, you sure about that size for the os50? mine looks 22mm ish

If I was not sure I wouldn't of posted. Anyway if you look for 6902 then the size won't matter because that is the correct part number.

Trust me Andy will not be wrong. If you are referring to the outer diameter are you not mistaking the front one which is indeed 22mm x 9.5 x 7.

Edit : I was a bit late, told you though!!

ive just done the same! thanks for helping heliaddicts

[Andy from Sandy]

Gosh, I had them over-priced then didn't I? £2.00 each what a bargain. Buy a dozen and treat them as consumables.

And there was Spanner off to FL to pay top whack. Well done chap for searching these out.

model fixings is another great site for os bearings

Hey spanner, not sure about those they seem too cheap, have you used them before?

Just been pointed towards simply bearings on the A580 (South Man) but they are £20 each.

Having said that, the one my tutor has in has been doing 30-40 flights plus a week and is still good after 6 months (Seems worth it) - I'll research exactly what's special and post back with details.
