Vertical Fin Gusset?
Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2003 7:37 pm
Hi Guys:
How Many of your ships have a gusset on the lower right side of the vertical fin (tail rotor pylon)?
The factory e-mailed me a picture of a new ship, showing it and I am in the process of installing one.
It ties the vertical pylon SPAR on the right side to the horizontal rivet seam where the pylon rivets onto the tail-cone.
My pylon skin was flexing (oil-canning) on the lower right side, toward the front, when hard left pedal was applied.
I had read somewhere where a pylon had broken off in a hover on someone and caused a hard-landing/rollover ( no injury I believe)
