Overview
Based on the popular Vigor CS, the Vibe 90 3D kit features many parts that have been redesigned and upgraded to handle the incredible loads of today's "total chaos stick-bending" flying styles.

Along with the redesigned carbon frames and carbon fins, the all-important drive system has received a total upgrade, beginning with a larger diameter start shaft that uses a heavy-duty, one-way bearing. The new hardened main shaft, with its heavy-duty autorotation assembly and newly supported bevel gear hub has also been beefed up. The revised control system features an upgraded High Cyclic Swashplate, one-piece CNC 3D center hub with O-ring dampeners, composite blade holders, control arms and a brand new adjustable flybar/blade ratio system.

On the tail, the rotor hub design, hub case, pitch lever, and control lever have all been upgraded, complete with a new carbon tail control rod for improved actuation. Even the new prepainted canopy has been sculpted to reduce drag in all axes, so the model flows through flips, rolls, tumbles and pirouettes easier than ever before. This heli can take an advanced pilot's best shot and come back for more.

Specs
* Tail Rotor Diameter:10.34 in
* Gross Weight:10.2 to 10.5 lb
* Length:54 in
* Main Gear Ratio:8:1:4.83

Vibe service bulletin

Through reports from some of our Team JR members in the field it has come to or attention that there have been a small percentage of Vibe helicopters that have experienced severe tail vibration and in a couple instances lost tail rotor blades. This is obviously a very serious condition that can result in a catastrophic crash.

Through extensive research we have traced the cause to an improperly secured bolt on the tail clamp (#JRP960133) thus allowing the tail rotor gear box to rotate on the tail boom in flight. In some cases the tail rotor blades strike the vertical fin resulting in the grips and or rotor hub being destroyed. In less severe instances a resonance (vibration) occurs in the tail rotor system/gearbox. This resonance is primarily occurring when the tail clamp (#JRP960133) is insufficiently tightened allowing the tail rotor gearbox to resonate in the tail boom resulting in extreme stresses being placed on the tail hub, blade grips and tail blades which in time will fail.

Important: The tail clamp (part #JRP960133) fastens the tail rotor gearbox to the tail boom and must be securely clamped in place to prevent gear box rotation and or tail resonance/ vibration. This requires that the 3mm x15mm socket head bolt (JRP980015) be securely tightened such that the clamp compresses the tail boom fixing the tail rotor gearbox in place. It's necessary to use adequate force when tightening this 3x15mm screw so that the clamp compresses the tail boom firmly securing the tail rotor gearbox in place. Note that the tail clamp is also used to attach the rear portion of the vertical fin in place. It's very important to fully tighten the 3x15mm socket head bolt that tightens the clamp and secures the tail rotor gearbox in place BEFORE the vertical fin is attached. If the vertical fin is installed first it's possible that the screw attaching the fin to the clamp will prevent the 3x15mm clamp bolt from fully seating preventing the clamp from securely fastening the tail rotor gearbox in place.
