asquaddie Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 In the need of some Parajet Volution Mk 1 cage bits!! Checked the prop & cage and there is only 2-3 cm gap on the lower left and about 10 cm on the top right. The frame is straight – you can see with the shape of the cage. Most grateful if you can PM Many thanks Guys Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most grateful if you can PM Many thanks Guys Tony I had a similar thing on my old Volution 1, took it to Parajet at the time but they reckoned it was within spec. It certainly never caused any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asquaddie Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Stevie I think I have been flying a few times like it is, but I've just put on a set of new props and the last thing I want to do is break a tip again I did email 'good old Parajet - in a nice way that is' Tom at Parajet and he asked me to send some photos down and they will check it out. But they haven’t any older ones lying around so it would be new ones. It is an old looking machine so I’m not proud – might need some bending in the right direction to widen the gap Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartasutherland Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I used some big washers behind the engine mounts to change the prop distance from the cage a bit. That, and some elbow grease bending the frame out a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spigot Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Check the engine mounting plate is straight After a few Bum landings Most have a bend in the plate just above the battery tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommcb6016 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Check the engine mounting plate is straight After a few Bum landings Most have a bend in the plate just above the battery tray. It doesn't take a lot to bend the plate, mine was bent around the hole for the battery box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asquaddie Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Cheers guys – with a mark one eyeball check it looks like the cage is bend/twisted, but I’ll let the expert ‘eyeball’ of Simon have a look over the weekend before I start taking things apart.
