Title: ISO McCoy needles
Post by: Paul Taylor on October 27, 2022, 02:51:37 PM: My flying buddy likes his McCoy RH’s. He needs two needles for 35’s.
I emailed Scott Reese as he use to be the McCoy go to guy but looks like he is not active here.
Anyone have a pair of needles?

Thanks

I’ve an assembly from a McCoy 29 that looks like the same size as the 35 assembly. I’d be glad to mail it to him, gratis. Shoot me a PM.

What I loved about the McCoy NVA was how it instantly told you if your prop was balanced. LL~

In my opinion the Enya needle is far superior to the Mccoy. However, there's always a however. If your friend is still coming in inverted, even the Enya is going to bend and it will bend the needle and the spraybar. So another option is the Super Tiger clones, they're darn near a direct fit but they will require a Perfect bellcrank fiber washer on each side to center it. You can figure out the proper needle setting and cut the needle where you can then remove the bluing and solder a washer to the top as a knob. This can keep your needle barely projecting out of the spraybar like the combat flyers do which will prevent the needle from getting wiped out.
