OPERATION

Motor Position

All rotor units are supplied with the motor positioned on the left hand side of the cowl. It can be placed on the other side of the cowl if desired, to suit particular operating conditions. To change the motor to the opposite side follow the instructions below.

A.Position the cowl horizontally securely supported on stands or blocks, so that either end may be worked

on.

B.Remove the hoses from the motor, plugging the ends and ports to prevent entry of dirt.

C.Remove the motor guard and stay complete.

D.Remove the four nuts from the rotor shaft drive flange.

E.Remove the motor, drive plate, mounting plate, and rubber bushings as one unit by removing the three attachment bolts, through the rubber bushings separating the rotor shaft from the drive flange, taking care not to damage the joint faces.

F.Remove the non-drive end bearing guard, loosen the bearing locking set screws and remove the clamping setscrew in the end of the shaft.

G.Remove the rotor shaft from the cowl. While it is out of the cowl remove all the flails and shackles and replace with flails facing the opposite direction, but at the same location.

I.Remove the bearing adaptor plate from the left hand side of the cowl and replace in the right hand side of the cowl.

J.Reassembly is the opposite of the above procedure but with the positions of the items reversed: left hand side for right hand side and vice versa.

NOTE: Extreme care must be taken to ensure that the mating faces of the drive flange are clean, flat and undamaged when it is reassembled . If any burrs are found on either face they should be carefully removed with a fine file. Tighten the 4 flange nuts eventually to a torque of 60Nm (44 ft lbs). Failure to observe this procedure could result in rotor shaft vibration and/or premature motor failure.

RBF-19C specifications

The Tiger RBF-19C is a remarkable example of advanced unmanned aerial technology, designed primarily for reconnaissance and battlefield surveillance. This drone has garnered attention for its exceptional capabilities and cutting-edge features that make it a valuable asset for military and defense operations.

One of the standout characteristics of the RBF-19C is its high-altitude endurance. The drone is engineered to operate at significant elevations, which allows it to cover vast terrains while remaining undetected. With a maximum altitude capability of 20,000 feet, it can conduct prolonged missions, gathering intelligence over hostile areas without risking human pilots.

Under the hood, the Tiger RBF-19C incorporates advanced sensor technologies that enable it to deliver real-time data. Equipped with high-definition cameras, multispectral sensors, and infrared technology, it can capture detailed images and videos even in adverse weather conditions and low-light environments. This capability significantly enhances situational awareness for ground forces, making decision-making faster and more efficient.

Another notable feature of the RBF-19C is its extended operational range. The drone can maintain a communication link over distances exceeding 200 kilometers, enabling it to operate far beyond the frontline. This extended range allows for strategic reconnaissance missions, providing vital intelligence without exposing personnel to danger.

In terms of maneuverability, the Tiger RBF-19C is designed for versatility. It features a robust flight control system that allows for nimble navigation in complex environments. The drone can perform various flight patterns, including loitering and waypoint navigation, which is particularly useful for surveillance missions where constant observation of a target is crucial.

Moreover, the RBF-19C is built with a modular design, allowing for quick modifications and upgrades to suit different mission requirements. This adaptability ensures that it can be easily retrofitted with new technology or payloads, keeping it relevant amidst rapidly evolving warfare tactics.

Lastly, the RBF-19C is renowned for its stealth capabilities. Designed with a low radar cross-section and noise-reduction technologies, it minimizes its visibility to enemy radar systems, enabling covert operations. This attribute is essential for missions that require undetected data gathering.

In conclusion, the Tiger RBF-19C represents a significant advancement in drone technology, combining endurance, advanced sensors, extended range, and stealth. Its sophisticated design and operational capabilities make it an invaluable tool for modern military forces, enhancing their ability to carry out reconnaissance and maintain situational awareness on the battlefield.
