Synergy R/C Synergy N9 > Feathering Spindle Delrin Sleeve

I asked this question before and never got an answer.

What is this piece for and what are the consequences for not using it? Anyone wanna hazard a guess or give some information?

The sleeve acts as a 'teetering' point for the spindle. It works in the same way that the Raptor does with the pin through the center of the head.

This differs from a fully floating head (ie JR Vibe) where the center of the spindle is not supported.

The teetering head means you can run softer dampeners yet still retain a real positive collective snap.

I would put it on if I were you, it's not hard, you often have to soak it in hot water though.

Although I have not flown it yet, I do have it installed without it (I believe i got a bad one in my kit and no amount of coaxing will get it on there) and it still feels VERY stiff. Every bit as stiff or more than my Rap 90 with infinivation dampers.

Is it unsafe to fly without it or are you just suggesting that i will benefit from improved flight characteristics if i do install one?

AnnihilaT,

It is not unsafe to fly without the delrin piece. As Secret Squirrel mentioned it’s used to improve the flight performance of the rotor head and heli. To get the most out of the N9 I would recommend you contact Synergy and obtain a replacement piece.

Axle freezing

I have not received my kit yet , but with the fit concerning the head axle sleeve (120-113) and the head axle (120-114). I would think that in addition to heating up the sleeve for installation you could also freeze the axle in your freezer for about a hour to get it to shrink ever so slightly which might help. I know that is what we do in aviation construction when attaching large wing bolts. Just my humble observation as I do not have my kit yet. Take it easy.
