Default clutch shoes

Hi Bart,

If you have the standard Nexus clutch, then yes. The machine has two clutch shoes. Each secured by a 3x6mm screw. There were at least two different clutch shoe designs for the Nexus clutch. The early model style clutch shoe was a black anodized metal shoe. The newer style shoe is a silver colored metal shoe and is designed with the half moon cut out mounted and facing towards the center portion of the fan. I have used both styles of shoe on my machine. The old style clutch shoe's would work harden and break in the weakest portion of the shoe which was inside the half moon cut out's. I only have about 10 hours on the new style clutch shoe's and will see if they last any longer than the old style. As mentioned before, use a small amount of the blue locktite on the screws. I hope this helps a little bit. I wish you well and many happy landings.

Pound for Pound, Heli's are a blast................ Roland
