JR Heli Vibe - Airskipper - Sylphide - Venture > Voyager Frames CRACK!

I just came back from the field today where another Voyager 30 cracked the right frame near the engine. As of date, all but 1 of the Voyagers we fly here have cracked frames. No crashes experienced on this machine.

The problem seems to stem from the engine mount only bolted to the main frames, unlike the Vigor's engine mount which bolts to both main and bottom frames. Please note, only METAL framed Voyagers seems to be affected, the V50 IMZ is a CF model and Voyagers upgraded with CF sideframes do not show problems.

We have been flying Voyagers for nearly a year now and now that this model is set to hit US shores, I think JR will be asking for a problem unless this is rectified.

The 30 and 46 Ergo have the same problem, regular mix or CCPM. The frames JR uses on these helis are too thin. The frames are about 1.3 mm thick and it takes at least 2.0 mm for long term reliability. I can't understand why JR hasn't corrected this problem. On my Ergo 46 CCPM I finally broke down and bought the CF frame set from Japan.(After buying 2 new sets of upper frames!)
