Hi there..

As I understand there are two options. Split gear and the
MA0551 - 10MM SLIPPER TYPE CONSTANT TAIL D

First question: Is it enough to have the slipper unit (cheaper...)
Second question: Do I have to change the main shaft to a longer one?

Thanks

I had both

I used the slipper for a year.

It helps a lot if your tail likes to torque when you auto. And it makes it possible to auto without any forward motion. But, backwards autos are a little shaky.

If you make the clutch tight, then it will cause the clutch bell drag to pull away that precious reserve, so watch out.


I eventually got the split gear. I like the way it autos better, and it does not seem to drag down the reserve as much. The tail is really planted when you hit that switch.


So, ask yourself: How much do I auto?(not often = slipper)
Do I do any aerobatic autos, or want to? (if yes, then split gear)

no

no, for the slipper, use the standard 0614 shaft.

For the split gear, the same shaft will work fine, as well.
