Test fit the paddle grips into the gyro hub. Remove all molding flash from the ends of the
grips and from the gyro hub where the grips touch the hub. If the grips fit tightly into the
hub, shorten the grips very slightly with sandpaper or a hobby knife.

The gyro Z-links have one short leg and one long leg. Insert the short leg of each Z-link
into a paddle grip as shown in Fig. 9-3. One at a time, insert the threaded rod portions of
the gyro paddles into the ends of the gyro hub. Screw the threaded rods completely
through the paddle grips until the ends of the rods are flush with the interior of the hub. An
easy way to do this is to lay the unassembled components flat on the edge of a table
while screwing the paddles in place.
Note:
The threaded rods extending from the gyro paddles are also threaded inside the gyro
paddles. When removing a gyro paddle in the future, grip the rod with a pliers (instead
of gripping the paddle with your hand) to avoid unscrewing the paddle from the rod.
