Let me first resume the situation...
My Xcyclone (Kyosho Blue Streak copy) runs pretty well with 8XL, cheap 4000Nimh Camelion 12 cells pack, cheap Mystery 80amp ESC, and best result with K42 carbon prop, drive shaft is rigid, 4mm dia. M4 at prop, yeah I know here in France we use metric but still, 3,2mm (or 3,17mm = 1/4") flex are common!
During last runs I notice the hull was not enough "aerial" due to prop angle pointing down so the front tend to "dive" a very little, I first move COG as far as possible in the back but then at startup the nose is lifting like hell!
So I'm thinking about flex drive, in order to have the possibility to adust thrust angle, what do you think?
What material do I need? I allready have an H&M 3,2mm flex with 4mm/M4 shaft, I have the equipement to make a strut from aluminium tube with 4mm ball bearing each end
I see on OSE that there are .130 flex, teflon liner and coupler, but this is 3,3mm not 3,2 or 3,17??? this is confusing me!!!
What's the liner inside diameter?
I don't want to go for 3/16 shaft because it's not metric!:D
