STEP 36
Attach the tail boom assembly to the main mechanics by sliding the tailboom tube into the hole in the
rear of the upper frame using five 3x25mm Socket Cap Screws and M3 Locknuts, slowly press the
tailboom in, being careful to engage the drive wire the flattened end into the tail rotor output gear shaft.
The slots on the end of the tailboom will self align with molded pins inside the upper side frame.
As the upper frame is assembled at this point, just
take your time and the wire will slide in.
Once engaged, press the tail boom in
completely to fully seat it.
Connect the short rudder
pushrod at this time.

the horizontal fin and one behind.
Attach the Horizontal Fin on the
tailboom using two 3x12mm Self
Tapping Screws into the Tailboom
Clamp and space the fin along the

Tail Boom support & Tail Strut is
attached. Note: the mount for the
strut is angled, test fit the strut to
position the clamp in the correct
direction ) then secure the strut one
3x12mm Self Tapping Screw and
one 3mm Washer. Attach the lower
fitting to the lower frame assembly
using two 3x15mm Self Tapping
Screws. Finally apply some Zap Ca
glue to the fittings onto the strut.
Referring to Step 38, install the long
rudder pushrod inserting into the
three guides along the tailboom.
