Attaching the Tail assembly to the frames

Note: Before inserting the tail section into the rear of the frames

the tail belt needs to be rotated 90 degrees anti clockwise, do not

twist more than 90 degrees as this will cause the tail to grind or lock

up when turning the main blades. The screws in the boom hub

may need to be loosened slightly before inserting the boom, once

the boom has been inserted and the belt placed over the gear the

boom can be pulled backward to apply tension to the belt then the

hub screws can be tightened. When squeezing the belt together

between the boom hub and tail gear both sides of the belt should

not touch each other but stop about 3 quarters of the way.

Screw 9mm x 2

Screw 13mm x 2 Screw cap x 2

Boom Stay x 2
