Happy New Year everyone!

Hey, anyone here interested in how to mod the HeliDirect CNC center hub to work with the CP? It is definitely worth the effort (I speak from experience). No slop, no sticky collective and seems to be fairly crash resistant. Not to mention you dont need any shims added to the spindle to tighten it up. Very solid.

One thing tho...I did find a fix to the problem of loose tolerances when mounting it to the main shaft. A friend of mine also had problems when installing his MH beauuuutiful CNC BH Head.

Simply place a drop of MEDIUM (or low strength if you can find it) loctite in the shaft hole in the head (if the hole is bored through into the spindle shaft opening just use a piece of heat shrink tubing or whatever stuffed in there to keep the loctite from gumming up the works) and mount the head on the shaft WHILE HOLDING HELI UPSIDE DOWN!! This keeps the excess loctite from running down into the swash. Just clean up the stuff that runs out with a paper towel or whatever. True up the head as much as possible and set the heli somewhere upside down over night for the loctite to cure. This really works! The loctite serves to take up the slack in tolerances and if you need to remove the head after 'custom bending' a mainshaft just pop off the grips and slide a screwdriver or similar through the spindle hole and twist the main gear and head in oppossite directions after loosening the grub screws. The cured loctite seems to crumble and, for the most part, clean itself out. I have already had to change a few mainshafts and I havn't had any probs. Yet...He he.

Just make sure you dont use anything stronger than medium grade. My friend used the high strength and wound up having to cut the shaft to get a new one in. Oh yeah, he never did get the shaft out of the Micro Heli head and gave it to me!!!! Needless to say I was laughing all the way to the heat gun lol!!! Can't beat free shiny blue parts!!!
