"£%"£%^! Tiny Part needed!

[Delarado]

Guys,

Does anyone have one of these? Its one of the tail brace ball links.

Kugelgelenk 8mm, Henseleit Helicopters

I just snapped the bloomin thing getting it off!

Anyone know of any alternatives available? Ive tried searching but there doesnt seem to be anything anywhere near the size available anywhere...

Possibly, I'll check in 20 mins.

It looks very similar to the ball links that go on the flybar of the Robbe Futura/Milli/Quatro. I have a bunch of them. I think there is also a Vario part the same size.

are they 8mm balls trillian?

Ive never seen anything this big!

I wanted a UK stockist ideally so I didnt have to pay 15 euros to have it shipped and wait almost a week for it... So annoyed, why wasnt I more careful!?

[Jamin_00]

Not got one mate, probably every other part but not that.

If you email them and ask you wont have to pay €15 and its normally 3 days from Germany i find.

ah ok, fair enough, thanks anyway mate!!

Ill email Jan and ask.

Yeah as close as I can tell. I don't have something to measure them really accurately I just have to eye it in over a ruler. The links are just like big ball links but the threaded part is made for the size of a normal link rod, like 1.5mm or something. I can send you a couple if you think they might work.

The ball itself is 8mm in diameter. The link rod that it fits on to is actually 3.2mm across. The link is 31mm from end to end.

If you think they'd fit, I think I'd owe you a whole bottle of wine rather than just the large glass for the ESC haha

Looks like those parts are pretty rare Trillian?

Don't worry if they are something thats tricky to get hold of, I wont be flying for a while yet anyway!!

Well if the link rod is 3.2mm then you'd definitely have to drill them to fit something that size because these fit a much smaller link rod. I think they will fit the 8mm ball but I cannot be 100% sure without calipers or whatever it takes to measure them. I didn't measure the length but I know they're not quite as long.

Dont worry, thanks anyway, Ill speak to Jan!
