[NSRCA-discussion] Nose-Rings: O-ring replacement forCHnosering?

[Eddie Batchelor]

I am so glad to read this.

Last year while setting up my new plane/Ys140Sport. I had the same problem
with the Central nose ring.

I called them & they told me they'd never heard of anyone else with this
problem and even sent me a replacement nosering. It was as tight as the
first  SO I decided I had an odd motor and made my own nose ring copying the
gator style.

Misery loves company  SO I've thoroughly enjoyed reading this thread.  LOL

Well after Vaughn told me the same thing, I mic-ed the 2 motors I had and
they are indeed different, that's why there is no standard O ring that makes
it all happy. So, a few minutes with a dremel and a lot of patience seems to
be the answer. Just keep it round =)

 

On that same note, I made the mistake early on of using the nose ring as-is.
It may as well had been hard mounted. Everything on the plane shook
loose....screws, adjusters, rattled the antenna out of the tube, you name
it. Cost me a set of servos before I had that conversation and fixed it.

 

"Don't be that guy"....LOL

Thanks Mike,

 

I can get primitive on the O-ring :-)   I was hoping for a McMaster Carr
P/N.  If I find one, I think it would be a good idea for Central to supply
two sizes of O-rings with unit to ensure it fits the motors.

 

Thanks,

Jim

After much discussion, trial and error, the "fix" to this is to gently
remove material from the O ring with a dremel and large drum sander, until
it is a slip fit. You don't want it sloppy, but it should slide on and off
without having to force it. Install with some lithium grease and you're all
set! I've had to do a ton like this.

Hi Guys,

A while back Clayton Foster was making the CFE nose-rings and they always
seemed to fit perfectly - snug but allows the engine to still rock back and
forth.  I understand now that he is no longer making them, and that the
Central Hobbies Nose-ring was supposed to be a replacement for it.  I have
had several of the CH nose-rings and they fit so tightly as to form nearly a
welded lock of the rubber to the motor.  I'm not opposed to making my own
nose-rings, but I actually like the idea of being able to purchase something
and use it once in a while too.  

Has anyone found a P/N or different size O-ring to make these units fit the
YS correctly?  After just speaking to Vaughn, he felt that the YS
dimensional variances were too much to deal with so they shot for the middle
ground.  If anyone has spec'd or tried a new o-ring for this device and
could pass it along that would be great.

Thanks,

Jim
