e-MS Composit Hornet > MS Hornet II Reverse Main Gear for Twister Motor with One Way - PROBLEM!!

I just recently purchased the MS Hornet II Reverse Main Gear for Axi Motor with One Way. On installation I noticed that the original main shaft is too short for proper pitch set up and that it would have to be installed using a collar versus the pin that slides thru the original platic gear. Am I assuming this or am I required to buy a longer shaft. Any suggestions/help/insight would be appreciated.

Not sure what you have bought. If it uses a brass clutch sleeve with a grub screw then you need to purchase a longer X-3D style shaft.

E466 Main Shaft X-3D Hardened
$07.02 flat spot end and longer.

Some more info here.

Hi DarkHorse1,

I purchased the DUZI gear (picture attached). This gear replaces the main conical gear that comes with the kit and allows the flyer to re-position the motor from the front of the helo to the rear and also allows the flyer to use the Twister or AXI motors. The DUZI gear is much smaller than the original stock gear. The original main gear is attached by sliding the shaft throught the bearings and into the conical gear and is held in place via a small pin. The DUZI gear however is held in place via a small collar below the gear itself. The problem is that the shaft appears not to be long enough to provide the proper pitch range. I need another few millimeters to get the required pitch. I am guessing that I need a longer main shaft.

You should be OK with a H2 and Duzi Axi gear set. I did a quick search and did see issues with an X-3D shafts and Duzi upgrades.
I have no first hand Duzi experience but I'm guessing you can't get enough positive pitch because your servo to swash links may require shortening (nail clipper the dead plastic back to the thread start)? If the swash plate doesn't crash into the mast collar you should be fine.

Through back anymore info and someone should be able to advise.
