JR Heli Vibe - Airskipper - Sylphide - Venture > Ergo 50 tail boom support

Hi Guys,

The tail drive belt slipped off the pulley on my Ergo 50 type 2 CCPM yesterday, shortly after the pulley fell apart in the air! I tried to climb and auto, but with only partial success..

One boom strike later, I am trying to get hold of the parts I need (I live in Finalnd, there are no model shops within easy reach!). So far, Cyberheli has been very helpful, but they seem to be having some problems sourcing the K&S tail support I was using, this is the metal piece that the horiz. tail is mounted on and takes the ends of the dual carbon tail boom supports, I don't have the original single support device as I bought the heli used and the upgrade had already been made.

Not listed on the K&S site...any ideas?

By the way, until the accident, the heli was flying beautifully, I bought it with a an OS 46 in, but changed to an OS 50 over the winter, lovely engine!

Cheers,
Dave in Finland

Other options

Well Rick's R/C in the US sells one that fits the Vigor that might work but I think it's kind of pricy at $35.95 US. It's JR part number "JRP960132".

Look as this Link

You might want to look at Flight-Craft. It's in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada and they have one that looks almost identical to the JR one but it sells for $29.95 CND. Yes I said Canadian. I have one on my Ergo 30 with dual carbon supports and it's really well made. Take a look at my gallery and you can see a picture of it on my Ergo. Might give you a better idea if this type will work for you instead of the KSJ model.
Here is a link to the Flight-Craft page. Flight-Craft


Just click on "Product Lines" then on "SGP Products". The part number is 'SGH0002' and it's the second one down from the top.

I doubt they would have any problems shipping to Finland.

Try Heliproz

Search for "DBC Fin Mount Raptor/Ergo Prpl" It's only 18.99, and should work.

Quick UK

The Quick UK boom support clamp will do the job. It fits the booms on my Venture30 pretty good. I know that the Venture uses the same diameter boom that goes on Ergo line.

Try GR8LakesRC.com. The are the US dealer for the QuickUK line.

Thanks for the help, guys. I think the quick part would be the, uh, quickest, to get, I get all sorts of stuff from the UK and have dealt with Quick in the past.

Thanks again, I'll get this thing back in the air as soon as I can!
