Step 3 Installing the Rate Gyro
Use two layers of 1/8 inch thick double-sided foam tape to install the electronic rate gyro to the gyro mounting plate.
The double sided tape can be found at your local hobby shop or at hardware stores. Use the same procedure if you
intend to mount the gyro on the battery tray.
Step 4 Landing Gear
Attach the two landing gear struts (2002-067 Bag #1) onto the lower frames using four M3x16 bolts 3mm Lock-nuts
and washers. Slide the landing skids into the landing gear struts. Install four M3x6 set screws to the struts to prevent
the skids from moving. It is advisable to pre-thread the struts by running a M3x8 screw into them before installing the
skids.
Step 5 Collective and Cyclic Control
Now put the lower side frame assembly aside. We will start on the upper side frame assembly now.
Fit the elevator axle (2002-153 and 2002-155 Bag #3) to the elevator lever (2002-069 Bag #3). Use a M3x5 bolt and
a small washer to hold each axle; use a drop of Locktite on the M3x5 bolt. Use two steel ball end (2002-229 Bag #3)
and locktite to hold the steel balls in place. Install a plastic bushing (2002-072 Bag #3) onto each of the two collective
pitch levers (2002-071 Bag #3). The 2002-072 bushings can be replaced by optional ball bearings 2002-070. The
plastic bushing flange must rest against the face of the pitch lever. If not, it will be necessary to slightly bevel the edge
of the hole in the lever. Please note that all the plastic bushings should rotate freely on their mating shafts. If not than
the bushings should be reamed out slightly until they do. This can easily be done by rolling some 400 grit wet or dry
sandpaper and working it in and then out of the bushing until the proper fit is achieved.
