Introducing the ultimate solution to prevent the front torque tube stripping and vibrationrelated issues for the
full range of ALIGN TREX 550 and 600 series helicopters. The upgrade provides all the components needed to
produce a fullyadjustable gear mesh between the autorotation gear and fronttorque tube gears, giving the
pilot the ability to adjust for fullgear tooth strength and accommodate both the MOD 0.6 (4.5 ratio) and MOD
0.8 (3.85 ratio) gearing to suit their flying style. Dual Aluminum 6061T6 Case Supports are provided for
improved stiffness and a so lidhold to the carbon frames for the Tail Boom Case, preventing any unwanted
shifting of the mechanics during flight for ultimate strength and smoothness of the tail gear train. In addition,
shims are provided for further adju stment of the bevel gears, further improving the strength a nd accuracy of
the tail gear train.
STEP 1: Disassemble the Tail Boom Case, Umbrella Gear Case, and FrontTorque Tu be Gear as shown in the
image below. Remove the RadialBall Bearings from the FrontTorque Tube Gear.
Optional Tool: To aid in installation, a 12 mm or 0.5” Drive Socket will be useful to install the 0.25 mm Shims
onto the FrontTorque Tube Gear as described in the next page.
