23. Sight down the assembled fuselage
and make sure the tail rotor mount
is vertical and aligned with the
main shaft.
24. Use a 1.5mm hex driver to tighten
the setscrew in the mount securing
it to the tail boom. Make sure the
mount is held in the vertical position
while this is done.
25. Route the tail motor wires and
the LED wires to their appropriate
places and plug them in. Make sure
to plug the tail motor lead back in
the correct location and polarity. Use
tape to secure them out of the way
of any moving parts.
26. Install the tail rotor hub on the motor
shaft and tighten using a 1.5mm hex
driver. Use threadlock to keep this
setscrew from coming loose over
time. Snap the tail motor heat sink
in place.
20. Slide the frame into the Huey body
from the bottom. Make sure the
tail motor mount plugs into the tail
boom during this assembly. You
should also route the antenna to the
rear of the tail boom, if applicable.
21. Mount the frame in the body
using the new carbon body rods
and silicone keepers. The rods
mount in the same location as those
that were removed. The 110mm
(4.3-inch) rod goes in the front
mounting hole, and the 60mm
(2.3-inch) rod goes in the rear
mounting hole.
22. Mount the landing skids to the front
and rear mounting plates using four
1.5mm x 6mm (0.05 x 0.23-inch)
self-tapping screws and a #0 Phillips
screwdriver.
