Hi,

Well Rusty (Betapilot) set me up with a HH Gyro and longer guides to help keep the belt on. In the meantime before I get the new guides, I had the shaft drilled about /32'" higher for the belt gear. It looks to be dead on straight to the tail. But the belt still keeps comming off. I don't see how the belt gear is suppost to stay higher. Doesn't that depend on the length of the brass coller? Anyone have any opion, help?[]

Now it's a matter of belt tension...either too loose, or tight. If you raise the shaft, you use the top shaft locking collar to hold the shaft at the correct height. Belt tension is about 60% of a belt being thrown. Mine is doing well since I raised the pin, that's all I can say.

Thanks Jim
