Tail Assembly (T)
1. Remove the tail grip retention screws and linkage
balls and re-install them using medium thread-
locking compound. Ensure the thread-locking
compound does not contact the tail grip bearings.
2. Insert the tail shaft into the tail rotor hub assembly.
3. Lock the tail shaft into place with a M4x4mm
setscrew and
high strength thread-locking
compound
. Ensure the setscrew contacts the fl at
area machined into the tail shaft.
4. Remove the linkage ball from the pitch slider assembly
and re-install using medium thread-locking compound.
5. Slide the pitch slider assembly over the tail shaft and
snap the ball links onto the tail grip linkage balls.
1. Remove four 2x16mm cap head screws from the
tail pulley one at a time and re-install using medium
thread-locking compound.
2. Insert the tail pulley into the loop created by the tail
belt, as shown.
3. Slide the tail shaft in from the right side, through the
tail pulley and into the left side tail plate bearing. As
you slide the tail shaft in, insert the linkage ball of
the tail pitch slider into the nylon bushing of the tail
rotor bell crank.
4. The tail shaft should extend out of the left side plate
bearing by approximately 1mm.
5. Secure the tail pulley to the tail shaft using two
4x4mm setscrews and medium thread-locking
compound. Ensure the setscrews are in contact with
the fl at areas machined into the tail shaft.
Check the rotation of the tail pulley. The tail pulley
should rotate as shown when the main rotor is rotated
clockwise, when viewed from above. If the tail gear
does not rotate as shown, remove the tail shaft and tail
pulley, rotate the tail belt loop 180° and re-assemble.
Sight down the tail boom and ensure the tail belt is
not twisted more than 90° inside the tail boom.
