Counter Gear Case Specifications and Use

This counter gear case is a replacement item intended for pipe drive tail systems, forming the housing that locates the counter gear in relation to the pipe drive assembly. It is described as a common service part for the applicable Hirobo helicopter series.

Fit and role: by maintaining the counter gear location the case helps ensure proper gear mesh alignment during operation, supporting fine-tuning and repair of the tail drive components. Employ this part when correcting alignment after component changes or when replacing failing housings.

Installation notes: disassemble the tail housing per your model's service instructions, fit or transfer internal gearing as necessary, and secure the new case with the existing fasteners. Validate gear mesh and free-play with the main and tail drives, then conduct conservative hover testing to confirm behaviour.

A correctly installed case restores the intended counter gear position, which can stabilise tail tracking and allow more predictable pitch and trim adjustments during setup.
After fitting, confirm gear mesh, adjust swash and tail pitch as required, and perform incremental hover tests while monitoring tail response to refine settings.
Conduct a staged test: ground checks for free-play and rotation, low-power hover to observe tail stability, then gradually increase to normal hover while watching for unusual noise or oscillation.
