Starting with the inside race, apply

threadlock and attach two short balls

(

Tip 1

) directly across from each

other, similarly attach two medium

balls to the remaining holes.  Attach

three short balls (

Tip 2

) to the outside

race, each 120 degrees apart.  The

extra location is used for the anti-

rotation bracket assembled later.

Step 8  Swashplate Assembly

Before starting, carefully apply two or three drops of CA to the seam between the top and bottom oilite bushings and
the plastic washout hub. Do not get any adhesive on the inside surfaces that will slide against the main shaft. Let dry
completely.
Attach two Medium Balls (

Tip 2

) to the Washout Mixing Arms ( 

Note, attach from the flat side of the

arm

).  

R30

 using one slide tube inserted from the flat side and secured using one 3x16mm Button Head Screw

and one 3x7mm Flat Washer per arm. 

R50

 Press one 3x7mm Ball Bearing into one side followed by one

3x5mm spacer and one more bearing from the opposite side.  Slide one M3x16 Button Head Screw through the
bearings in the arm and slide one 3x5x0.5 washer between the bearing before tightening into the washout hub.
Note, the screw is attached on the left when installed later on the main shaft.  Press the radius link on to the
inner short balls on the Swashplate.

The Canopy has a line molded into the plastic to follow when trimming the windshield part out, be

careful, trim the innermost line leaving the 6mm band for attaching the windshield.  Using a sharp hobby knife
carefully scribe a line several times into the plastic until you cut through the material.  Similarly trim the clear
windshield along the provided line, to make it easier to see the line, use a non-permanent marker and trace the
line, any extra ink can be removed with rubbing alcohol.  Test fit the canopy together by taping it to the canopy,
some additional trimming maybe necessary to get a good fit.  From Bag 5, the inside canopy mount can be
installed ( 

note the direction of the mount

 ) with two 3x6mm Self Tapping Screws,(  

note: the location for

the mount has to be moved 8mm forward of the marked location on the bottom of the canopy

 ).  The clear

windshield can be attached using six 2x6mm Self Tapping Screws in Bag 4, drill six 1mm holes at the locations
shown.

The two holes for the rear canopy mount have to be 

close the rear and

bottom edge as shown 

and attach the two rubber mount on canopy.

To inprove the adhesion of the decals to the body, peel the decal off the backing and apply one coat

of spray adhesive (spray glue) to the sticky side, commonly found in your hobbyshop.  For those who
would prefer to paint the canopy.
