The instructions
We have invested considerable effort in producing these instructions, with the aim of ensuring
that your model helicopter will fly reliably and safely. Please take the trouble to follow the
instructions step by step, exactly as described, as this guarantees a successful outcome. This
applies to you whether you are a relative beginner or an experienced expert.
•
The illustrations show how the model is constructed; be sure to read the instructions which
accompany the drawings.
•
All the joints marked with this symbol need to be secured with thread-lock fluid,
e.g. Order No. 952, or bearing retainer fluid, Order No. 951. Remove all traces of grease
from the joint surfaces before applying the fluid.
• All bearings, whether plain, ballrace or needle roller, must be lubricated thoroughly. The
same applies to all ball-links and gears, even if the instructions do not state this specifically.
•
You will find the parts list, replacement parts list and the associated exploded drawings at the
end of these instructions.
