| The following is a product overview of the MicroHeli Adjustable Tail Pushrod PRO. In the kit you are supplied with to carbon rods, one rod joiner, one tail boom guide for the carbon rod and a hexagon key for the grub screws in the joiner. Also in the packet was a plastic connector to fit onto the end of the carbon rod, this plastic connector is the clamping type that fits around a servo horn. Unfortunately it was too big to fit onto the threaded aluminium end of the carbon rod, so I just screwed a T-Rex ball link onto it instead. |

| The MicroHeli adjustable tail pushedrod is a fairly simple design in that
it consists of two pieces of carbon rod. One long length and one short
length. Both of these rods insert into a small aluminium "joiner"
which has two small grub screws in it that clampdown on to the carbon rod.
Effectively this creates one long carbon rod with the joiner most of the
way towards one end. The overall length of the rod can be adjusted by loosening
one of the grub screws and pulling one or other rod out from the joiner
a little. The joiner is long enough that it allows fast and easy adjustment
of the push rod length. The aim being that the tail can be adjusted quickly
and easily without having to move the servo on the tail boom or screw in
or out ball links. This system works very effectively and after fitting this item I'm very quickly adjusted the tail to get the optimum settings for my servo and gyro. I do have a couple of reservations with regard to this system. Firstly although I'm sure this system works extremely well I am somewhat uncomfortable that the pushrod to the tail is not one piece. I find myself worrying that one of the grub screws in the joiner may come undone. I should stress that this hasn't happened but it is a worry. A similar system is employed on the Raptor 50 and having flown one of these for over a year it never came undone. Secondly the grub screws in the joiner are extremely small and require the use of a tiny hexagon key. This key is extremely easy to lose or misplace. This of course would not be a disaster as the pushrod could still be adjusted in the conventional manner. Overall (and despite these reservations) I like the system as it makes it so easy to adjust the tail. if you have this upgrade please rate it using the trextuning rating system... |
