Vario Sky Fox - Benzin - Evolution - Xtreme > Installing drive belt on Sky Dragon

I'm half finished my Sky Dragon, but have encountered a problem with the installation of the belt. I can attach the belt to the clutch assembly and the main rotor gear, but the clutch assembly and the main rotor gear rub together. I've tried using more shims on the engine to distant the clutch assembly to the main rotor. The only problem with using too many shims is that there is so much force pulling the two assemblies together to the point that the engine shaft and main gearbox bend. With the bending the belt tends to want to creep to the edge of the gears. I can't see it being that difficult to install a belt! Any Sky Dragon owners with advice please post a reply please......Thanks

I have a Sky Dragon.I'm running 2 thrust washer not shims.With this I have about 1.5mm clearence before the bell is rubbing on the metal belt pulley.I'm not sure but I think my kit came with a silver washer with instructions.I can't remember.Make sure you don't over tighten the fan to the crank shaft this can also reduce your clearence.I tried a few shim combo's and after pulling the clutch a few times I found the clutch brass collet being looser and looser on the shaft.Each time I tapped the collet further into the clutch to get a better fit.Just somethings to try.I like the Dragon it's a very smooth machine,I just don't like all that dam smoke the Webra pumps out.It's like a fog machine on 5%
Good luck let me know how you made out.The belt drive gives a very cool wer sound.Mine does anyway.
