Teeter towers have double row ball bearings with stainless steel cotton reels (top hats). All bearings water and dust proof. Head includes teeter plate.

]Complete Rotor head assembly including torque tube and knuckles (longitudinal and lateral pivots are glacier bushed) with replacable glacier bushes. (Teflon lined steel bushes) Cotton reels included.Complete rotor head assembly Cost: $1100 plus GST.Now that is a true decription of a rotor head.[^]To me a rotor head is what you bolt to your head plates, and then add the cross bar that suits your control mechanism.Knowing Rob and Daves work, I bet they are magnificent.[^]Aussie Paul.

5 months ago and now this!G'Day Butch,Yep Rob mentioned he was in it with Dave, cant recall if he said Dave had them on hand or not, was just doing Rob ( and Dave ) a favour posting the info mainly cause Rob doesn't get on here and I cant remember the last time I saw your Dad post.G'Day Paul,A rotor head to me is a rotor head. Then there is a complete rotor head assembly. Sorry if you found the post confusing or misleading....there is a lot of that going on in this industry...Ha Ha Ha (that's me laughing out loud) I just dont like using that LOL thing.Butch,Has anyone bought a head yet? How's it all comming along?Mitch.www.thebutterflyllc.com

As in agreement with Paul, Rotor Heads (complete)(as an assembly) consists of the Rotor Head plates pillars upwards.........., Trunion block, Torque tube and cross arm (normally without Rod ends) Main bearing and bearing block (and this can incorporate a "register" machined into the main bearing block for a "ring gear plate" for example to utilize Pre-Rotation) and main pillars with bushes and bushings (and this depends on individual manufactured parts or CNCd in one piece), the "jesus Bolt is normally supplied.Pete Barsden

"Due to the above being a 'non paid for advertisement' I was asked to remove it. See it was OK till you blokes piped up. Now it's an issue."Its nice to know whats available and that is surely a part of the forum? We have a 'for sale' area. Is there a charge for posting there? With only a couple of hundred or so registered gyros, its a pretty small market, advertising can not be cost effective. That leaves the 'old boy network' and if your not in the loop, you don't know whats around.I say use this forum and post the 'ads' for the benefit of the membership.Dave
