600V2 Tail Control Rod

[waveydavey]

I was talking with Andy from Sandy today about the sloppy tail control rod on the standard 600n. He was telling me that the V2 has the solid carbon type as on the 600E Pro. Weel I've had a look and it has but for the life of me I can't find the part anywhere. Does anyone know whether the 600e Pro is the same one?

[Andy from Sandy]

Focus shot 6.

It exists but how do you get it as a spare part? I guess you buy a new kit.

This was the other thing I mentioned

4.Additional radial bearing is added to the top of the main gear hub to ensure
stable rotation, and eliminate jamming of one way bearing.

[waveydavey]

Yeah found it on a kit Andy but can't as you say find the spares

[electricsceadu]

us hirobo fliers are used to see ing a head like that 600v2
and the sdx50 has the radial bearing support at the top of the auto hub


and if you want a carbon tail push rod get a quick uk one with a raptor or shuttl/sceadu support/fin mount

It wouldn't be rocket science just to sleeve the current rod with a carbon tube and epoxy

[waveydavey]

No it wouldn't and I could probably manage that. But, if something is available as original then give me that rather than mess about with epoxy

Robbe do a carbon push rod for the 600ESP so I assume that one will do for the 600N as well, Jonathan told me about it ...

I had a look a while back Dave and couldnt find anything, anywhere either.. rather strange! The tidiest method I can think of, is going to the dreaded plank shop (Al's) and getting the carbon tube/sleeve and slide it over the existing metal rod for added stiffness (as I wasnt happy with gluing ends on like the QuickUk ones).. the new rod guide is quite a large hole though and you'll either need a thicker walled carbon rod or have a larger diameter rod sleeve for the guide area (i.e the metal sleeve on the new kits). Ps. I remember when I first started, you said the rods fine but now it sloppy?!

[waveydavey]

As my flying has progressd I can feel the slop in there Eddie, so as you know I hate changing things just for the sake of it and only change that which I feel will add to the helis robustness and flying characteristics and not bling.

So I consider a carbon tailrod a worthwhile change

[Andy from Sandy]

Is the length of the metal rod 626mm by any chance?

[waveydavey]

No it's 30mm longer Andy. I've bought the 600e pro one and will look to modify or adapt in some way
