JR Heli Vibe - Airskipper - Sylphide - Venture > Vibe 50 Tailcase fits Vibe 90!!

Guys, a new option and not too expensive.

Take the complete tailcase from a Vibe 50 and a spline coupler from a vibe 50 or a 600N.

Turn the coupler down to fit the existing TT end, drill a hole in the top of your tail boom for the safety screw and voila, one tail box that might take more abuse than the plastic version.

Pics soon, once the vibe is repaired again........

Tony, wish i was crashing....

Had the tail pitch slider come apart in flight last week. This weekend my heli blew up on spool up!! Canopy screw went through the head and broke a pitch link. Bye, bye tail boom and blades

The amount of time and effort i put into looking after these things is not paying off, especially when i see the lack of maintenance others do and seem to get away with it flight after flight.

On a side note i planted the Vibe 50 head on the 600N..... not for the faint hearted if you use the Align swash plate!!! Sufficed to say i'll keep it for the Vibe 50 now

Yeah, I sometimes feel I'm haunted too. I have several friends that are flying with worn out dampners, grips with 2mm play, dangling flybars and still they manage to fly flight after flight. I've been pretty lucky during the first 3 years of my pilot carreer but in the last month I had M3 steel screws breaking on me, tail blades ejecting in mid flight, thrust bearings locking due invisible damage to the grips etc etc.

Up until last month, I enjoyed every single flight and hearing the radio buzzer warning me that time was running out was always recieved with a slight annoyance (already over?). Since those two last crashes, I'm almost waiting for the radio to buzz so I can land and "be over with it". Its a terrible feeling and I hope I'll get over it soon.

Ricardo, i'll leave you with this, given up on the Vibe 90 now, Vibe 50 tailcase is destined for the arse end of the Vibe 50.

Good luck with it though should make the V90 a little more reliable.
