hi
i also may be able to help you on this matter i have a fully calibrated tork wrench i normally use to tork head bolts on merceedes sprinters you will need this for tailbox and tail blades please pm and will send to make sure nothing is loose on first test flight as you will bend the boom if not correct i would recomend around 90 nm as a starting point but to be sure i would refer to helidata this is done by the same firm as makes autodata please ring thier tel help line and ask to speak to mrs c rotater hope this helps barry

i had the same problem with my boom i solved it wth two n700 skyhooks nano welded from the front wheels

i have a nexus which is very good but for the tail boom which is very soft and easily bent so what i have done is bought some dowel which is a tight fit inside the boom and this has made it very strong, but now i need a drill long enough to go all the way down the wood so i can push the wire down which controls the rear rotor tail blades. any one know where i can buy or lend one please? i have tried welding a normal 1/4 inch drill to a length of rod long enough but it wobbled about too much.

Drill zigzag up the dowel,so you can weave the cable up the length of the boom, also the holes will cut down on the weight, just an idea
