Green Loctite HK450 Tail Gear Fix

I was at a field one day with my new HK450 heli and was doing some pop up when the tail gear assembly slipped sending my helicopter into a wild piro as I was going up, I immediately backed off the throttle and regained a little tail still spinning mad but I managed to land the heli without any damage.

I pulled apart the heli to discover that the tail gear had slipped, so I went about changing the gear but before I did I pulled against the gear to see if I could make it move, well the result was scary, just with finger pressure I was able to pop the gear from the shaft, so I went about getting some green loctite and found that it held perfectly, never to move again, even to the point of using a vice to apply pressure I found that the gear would start to show signs of snapping off but no signs of it moving from the shaft, I then proceeded to fix all my other spares in the same way and recorded what I found which is shown below in the video, needless to say I wasnt the only person who had suffered the tail gear slip, but now everyone is using my fix to the gear and not one person has had it slip since doing this mod.

I highly recommend you do this before you fly.
