Swashplate Control Hub for RC ERA C189 MD500 RC Helicopter
The Heart of Your Flight Control System
The swashplate is responsible for translating every move of your servos into the tilt of the rotor blades. If your swashplate has developed "play" or the center ball has become loose, your C189 will feel difficult to trim and vague in flight. This replacement hub solves mechanical slop, restoring the "locked-in" feeling required for scale MD500 maneuvers. Ships worldwide.
Product Highlights
Zero-Play Tolerance: Manufactured with tight tolerances to ensure smooth tilting without unwanted vertical or horizontal movement.
Hardened Pivot Ball: Features a low-friction center ball design that allows the rotor head to tilt freely while maintaining a solid connection to the main shaft.
High-Impact Composite: The outer ring is built to withstand the high RPM and torque of the C189 dual brushless power system.
Precision Ball Links: Integrated mounting balls are perfectly sized for the C189 linkage rods, ensuring a snap-fit with zero binding.
Shaft Lubrication: Apply a single drop of dry PTFE lubricant to the main shaft before sliding the swashplate on to ensure smooth collective pitch travel.
Linkage Snap: Use ball-link pliers to snap the linkages onto the swashplate; avoid using excessive force that could bend the linkage arms.
Leveling: Once installed, use a swashplate leveler or visual check to ensure the plate is perfectly horizontal when the helicopter is powered on at zero pitch.
