Default RE: Clutch Liner replacement made easy

Have you tried flying a heli after using your new homemade tool? I give you kudos for coming up with an inexpensive tool to make clutch liner installation easier, but I am a little concerned on how the actual fit will be. Most people will wrap a couple layers of electrical tape around the clutch, and press it in with the liner installed until the epoxy dries. The tape acts as a spacer to give a certain amount of gap between clutch and liner, and also keeps a lot of pressure on the liner to keep it forced against the bell. While your tool is a good idea, i am interested to see if it can put enough pressure on the liner to get the proper clearance for the clutch so that it doesn't drag at an idle.
