Additional tail rotor information: When you set up your tail rotor you need to make
sure that your tail pitch slider is not going to hit your tail pitch control lever mount.
With some gyros you can adjust this and others you can't. If you have a gyro that
you can't adjust this all you need to do is take a piece of fuel tubing and slide it
onto your tail output shaft. Spin your tail rotor to make sure the fuel tubing is long
enough but not too long.
Helicopter Center of Gravity (CG):
When the fly-bar is perpendicular to the tail-
boom, pick it up and the nose should be just slightly heavier. If you need to just
move your battery forward to get proper CG.
Washout Anti-rotation Pin:
Leave the pin relatively loose until you have your
radio equipment installed a nd your servos are operating correctly. Next, take
your washout link and line it up with the anti-rotation guide. Rotate the head so
that the main blades are parallel with the tail boom while the link is lined up. This
is where the pin should be rotation wise. Next, Cycle you swashplate all the way
to the top and tip it all the way in one direction. Rotate, the head and make sure
the pin does not touch the swashplate at any point in the rotation. You should
have the pin so that it is just barely not touching, but you want the pin as low as
possible so you have plenty of pin left at full negative. Once you have the
rotation and the height, just lock the pin down.
Canopy Mounting
Install (2) Long Canopy stand-offs and
(2) Short Canopy stand-offs using (4)
M3-8 Cap Head Bolts. After you have
attached the canopy cross stand-offs
you must place the canopy on the
machine and mark the canopy for the
locations of the standoffs. Drill a 1/4"
inch hole in the previously marked
position. After the 4 holes have been
drilled insert (4) Canopy Grommets and
attach the canopy to the helicopter
using (4) M3-16 Cap Head Bolts.
