12. Install the receiver in the bay under the spur gear. Be sure
to keep the receiver towards to rear of the bay as show. Attach
with double sided foam tape or Velcro. Make sure that the
receiver antenna is routed so that it cannot possibly interfere
with the main or tail rotor blades. There are many possible ways
to route the antenna, and you may have to try different methods
to get interference-free operation, but it is essential that the
antenna be constrained from contact with the blades

13. Install the pinion onto the motor, and install the motor
in the helicopter. Be sure to set the gear mesh properly. This
can be done by pushing the pinion and spur together with a strip
of typing paper between them and tightening the motor screws.
The paper can then be removed by turning the gears to eject it.

1. Check the tail drive belt tension by pressing on one
side of the belt with a screwdriver. With gentle pressure, it
should be possible to push the belt approximately as far as
the picture shows. If you can easily push the belt against
itself, it is too loose. If it does not deflect easily, then it is too
tight. If you need to adjust the belt tension, simply loosen the
screws shown and slide the tail boom in or out. When you
have the tension correct, retighten the screws. Recheck the
rudder pushrod adjustment.

2. Attach the hook side of hook and loop fastener to the
