tail rotor shaft drive in the boom for the RW

I recall there being an incident with a TR blade flying off after maintenance due to potentially incorrect installation of the snap ring. While unrelated, it was just a thought that came up. Seems to me that is an area that should be addressed at some point as well.

Hi Jared, simple answer no, I have enough on my plate ATM, and the reason I am doing this is to replace the tail rotor belts as they destroyed my last build, and I thought why not, the shaft drive at its slightly higher RPM = more thrust, no tail rotor belt adjustments and maybe an answer to the ballast???
making the shaft to suit the existing RW T/R pitch horns makes my current life a little easier and cheaper.
