13. Disassembly and Assembly of the Mechanics
You may need to remove the mechanics from the fuselage for maintenance or repairs.
Disassembly of the Mechanics
For this, you first need to remove the wire pin (1) that con-
nects the rotor head to the rotor shaft. Use a short piece of
steel wire for this to press out the pin.
Practical advice:
Clamp a short piece of aluminium tube (approx 6 mm Ø)
vertically in a vise. Have a helper hold the helicopter so that
the rotor head lies on top of the tube and the wire pin points
into the tube when it is pushed through.
After the two ball-joint sockets (2) of the linkage rods were
removed from the swash plate from below, the complete
rotor head can be taken off upwards.
Important!
Mark which linkage rod was attached to which
ball of the swash place first, so that the rotor
blade track will be correct again after assembly.
Do not use any force when disassembling the
rotor head!
There is a bore (1) on the left side of the fuselage that you
can use to loosen the safety screw of the tail boom (2).
Once the tail rotor protection bracket (3) is removed from
the front holder (4), you can take off the tail rotor with the
drive shaft pipe (5) from the fuselage by pulling it backwards.
For better illustration of the precise position of
the safety screw, the mechanics was illustrated
already removed from the fuselage in figure 34.
