Rob L,
Even better, you can buy a new 117 tail rotor assembly (-C these days) direct from the factory in Germany, with incorrect (Bo105) weight arms installed. When the right pedal throws 2" forward, and the helicopter takes about 25lb of pedal force to fly in balanced flight, Eurocopter's answer is that it's not their fault, install a hydraulic t/r servo to reduce the force
Fortunately we have a good maintenance organisation, who ran down a parts check and sussed out the error. 5 months later the silence from EID is deafening
