top start heli's

[dibley1970]

Hi
My heli ha top start cone system, what are the options for this as it is a tight fit to get the starter onto it because of rotor head,
can i change it for a hex start or can i get an extension for the cone start

hope that makes sense , cos i know what i mean...............

if any of these are possible where can i buy them and how much please

cheers dave

You don't say what Heli you have!! you can get extension starter shafts check here:-

from his other posts he has a hawk but that is hex start.

only top cone start I have seen recently is a nexus.

sorry!!!
ade is right , it is an old hawk sport , presume they were cone starts before they saw sense and changed to hex starts, have checked www.centuryuk.com and they stil sell cones, but not hex???

compare the manual to your heli and see what parts differ and order the bits you need using the part numbers in the manual.

thanks ade , i have found a uk site as well that sells the hex top start but it says it is 5mm and all the starters seem to be 6 mm extentions , can ou advise?

[Ade_Law]
