Wed Aug 8 10:10:41 AKDT 2007

I did this trick to my Mantis when I installed my 140L, heard about it from Arch who heard about it from Mike who heard about it from...

Gotta' love the sharing of info!!

  it's an easy fix, but can make your life miserable if you don't know about it. I had to cut the first nose ring off the engine. Now, no worries!

    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 J   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
