STEP60 Tail Drive through Fiberglass Tail Boom
Remove the tail boom from the main mechanics.
To avoid vibration, attach a thin wrap of foam or the loop
side of velcro around the tailboom, positioned just past
where the tail gearbox is attached. After the foam/velcro
has dried, remove the tail gear box from the end of the tail
boom and insert through the fiberglass tail boom. Be
careful in passing the rudder pushrod through the slot in the
top of the fiberglass boom, the ball link needs to be aligned
vertically, or removed altogether then reattached later.
Foam or soft velcro wrap.
Positioned ~ 30mm from end
of tail boom.

Tip: Before assembling the tail gear box,
verify that the tail input shaft rotates
straight on the end of the tail drive shaft by
rotating slowly in your fingers. If the tail
input shaft does not turn true, adjust the
tension of the M4x4 Set Screws. The
problem is a result of the set screws not
having the same tension.

STEP 59 Receiver & Rx Battery Mounting
The receiver and the receiver battery pack should be
mounted in the bottom of cabin all the way in the front
to balance the helicopter. Underneath the scale instru-
ment panel (if purchased separately. It is best to wrap
the receiver and battery in 1/4”[6mm] sheet foam,
secured with vinyl tape and then use sticky backed
velcro on the outside of the foam/tape and the inside of
the fiberglass to keep this equipment from shifting
during flight. The gyro can be mounted on top of the
throttle servo. Once completed the windshield can be
bonded in place with “goop” or canopy adhesive.
(Optional Scale Accesory Kit)
The instrument panel was trimmed initially to fit the
curvature in the front of the cabin. Using double sided
servo tape applied to the edges of the panel and in the
front, carefully position and press into place.
