Default RE: Hawk clutch problem


Check for the proper clearance from the clutch shoes to the clutch lining. I have had several Hawks and my oldest one burned
the clutch up when it fell over while running. I didn't do alot of damage at first but I never really realized the clutch was toasted until
I saw small black parts flying from under the heli while attempting to learn to hover. I replaced the clutch lining and the clutch. I used
JB weld to install the clutch lining into the clutch bell and I also installed a high volume fan. I don't think the fan really did any better
than the stock fan but it was aluminum.
