Thunder Tiger Raptors 30-90 - Imperio > clutch liner on raptor 60 v.2?

Hi everyone well my new 9C arrived the other day so I have been setting up the R60. I was setting up the throttle last night and started up the heli. I noticed it takes alot of rpm to get the clutch to grab. Is this normal or should I get the liner redone? If so what clearance should there be in the clutch bell to the clutch?

Chris,

I has the same thing happen on my R60 the first time. I needed to 'tweak' the clutch shoes just a bit to spread them out. A flat bladed screwdriver works well. Don't gorilla it or you'll snap them off.

Read about my R60 experience on my web site @ http://www.geocities.com/jbrundt/raptor.html

R60 clutch

I thought the same thing Greg. The clutch engagement speed is unusually high, but the clutch has worked flawlessly now for about 150 flights w/o failure. I really love the R60. Hope this helps. Steve.

Thanks for the info guys. I replaced my clutch bell with one that had a after market liner in it and had been machined to a .005 clearance. All is fixed now. Thanks again

Where did you get the after marker liner for the 60. I found an Aussie that sells them for the 30 and they work great. But he does not make them for the 60

Steve gray gets it from somewhere. IT is some kind of black stuff and is very thick. After installing it you have to machine it down on a lathe to the right specs.

I know the after market ones that I use on my Rap30/50 work great. I have a lathe how do I get ahold of this guy for some of that material?
