(1) Dry fit the pinion gear to the main motor prior to mounting. Make
sure the main motor gear rides in line with the main gear on the Swift.
The key to installing the motor is the gear mesh. The elongated slots
for mounting the motor allow space to adjust the mesh between the
motor pinion gear and the main gear. Install the motor to the motor
mounting plate and secure with hardware provided by the manufac
-
turer of the motor.
(2) Install the batteries and control system neatly onto the electronics
tray. When installing electronics make sure that wires are not going to
come into contact with moving parts. Use foam rubber wrap to wrap
the receiver. ** The actual arranged components may be different
than the picture illustrates.

1) When setting up the pitch of the tail blades, the tail pitch plate should be first set in the middle position of the tail rotor
shaft. The tail blades should have no pitch in that position. Tighten the tail rotor blades until the blade grips hold firm yet soft
enough so that the tail blades can still fold back in the event of a blade strike.
2) Adjust the position of the rudder servo bracket so that the tail pitch plate is centered on the tail rotor shaft while the servo
arm is at a 90 degree angle.
Tail rotor blades with zero pitch (blade
tips will be in-line)
Tail blades will line up in a flat straight line
Hint: Setting zero pitch for tail blades
