Re: tail rotor drive system.

Bad mouthing about the belt must have been the main reason.

First time I spoke to a certified helicopter mechanic about a Rotorway his first word was about their cheap belt tailrotor system.
And they have no damn idea of what they are talking about.

When I bought my machine I felt the belts were too soft. I checked the tool and it was out of range at only 7 lbs. The previous owner had a tailrotor authority problem. I had just found the the REAL problem.

The tool.

When my friend bought his RW I checked his tool first thing.

One imperial gallon of water weights exactly 10 pounds. Tool in vice, the gallon on the tool rod and check your line.
