Re: Channel style bearing system?
these are 5X2X2.5
could you not recess the bearings but rather make a hole in the blade big enuff for one bearing to go all the way through to the other side and just use one bearing per side
*edited* OK i dug out my spare parts for the helicopter and had some bearings in there. i took some SHITTY pictures with my cell phone to try to show the size of the bearings
her they are i will explain after them

this one just shows size if you can make it out thats it next to my twist

this one shows width it fits nicely between the sandwich style handles with about the width of 1 phos washer on each side i didnt have any around to test it but its pretty close

this one shows the inner dia of the hole it is just a little smaller than the tang pins
again sorry for the crappy pics
i dont see why drilling a hole through the blade the size of the bearing install the bearing add a washer to each side and tighten it down wouldnt work but im no mechanic so it might seize the bearing i dunno though just my opinion
