Tail rotor alternitives for shuttle

[j42]

Hello does anyone know of a tail rotor that will fit on a hirobo shuttle or which heli's have a 5mm tail shaft that the rotors fit on.
thank you

Yep:
I got about 2/3's of one they cost a paket Quick UK still do the housing, drive spindle, pitch slider, tail hub, bell crank, body, and guide wheele. Tis about £150 for the whole set without blades. the shaft is about £12 on this page http://www.quickuk.co.uk/acatalog/r_index.htm

Try the Sceadu tail assembly - it should fit the tail boom (please check first though), is also Hirobo, and is a far better design than the Scuttle.

Somewhere on here I posted a thing about an Ebay bloke in Germany with a link to his ebay shop, he does shuttle tails and stuff, and his stuff is good and good value too. Think its in the good sellers / buyers forum, have a look.

If that's the bloke that sells metal wash-out arms/bases for Sceadus for about £17, then I would suggest you stay well clear. The prices are good, but the manufacturing quality is sxxxte! I've got one of those Sceadu washout assemblies and only used it for 2 flights - black oily slick all over the main shaft due to steel-on-steel rotation. That block needs a brass bush, as per the original Hirobo part and the Quick UK upgrade.

And I see what you mean about the Sceadu wash out, it don't look like its got a brass bush in it

and I have had a swash plate of him for my old shuttle and it was top notch. A couple of others on here have had stuff from him as well and they agree. Can't see why the wash out hasn't got a bush in its all a bit odd.
