Hello.
Does anyone know where can I buy one transmition shaft for the HotCat?
Alternatively, does anyone know the exact length of the aluminum shaft so I can make one at home?

Thanks,

HotCat tail shaft

SergioR, the shaft is Stainless steel tube, not aluminium, I got fed up trying to track one down, I bought a 6 metre length, and cut it to the size I wanted, Matt might know where to get one, I think he bought one recently?

I know where to get the tube. I only do not know it's exact size.
It was broken at one tip and as I was confident that it was easly replaceble and I discard it.

It seems too that there isn't one sheet or CD of assembling instructions left in this world... any help would be welcome. Matt as helped me giving me the head and tail exploded view from Robe, but no assembling instrutions.

You are correct i have not found any disk at all,

I am meeting Paul999 today and we are gonna fly his HOTCAT,i will take off the boom if no one gets back to you, and measure it and then post up the length..

You have to remember that the shaft length will include the 2 clamps that fit onto the end, where one fits into the tail box and the other into the jetcat mechanics.
