8. Mechanics Setup
Take the manufacturer’s manual with the assembly sketches and start assembly of your model helicopter according to the
drawings starting on page P.4.
Page P.4
Upper figure:
Set the ball bearings in the intended bearing blocks and screw the two chassis halves together.
Important!
The screws must be plugged into the chasses from the left and applied with nuts on the right. Use threadlocker
varnish for the screw connections.
The four screws that attach the tailboom are only tightened after assembly of the tailboom (see page P.11).
Lower figure:
Install the landing gear according to the figure. The landing struts must be aligned towards the front in flight direction (also
see page P.13). For the rear landing struts, the two screws M3x15 and their two spacer bolts are used.
Page P.5
Upper figure:
Install the landing struts and attach the skids with the M3x3 grub screws.
Screw the linkage balls to the two front reversing levers for the swash plate. The balls must be installed so that the
respective moulded-on collar points towards the linkage lever.
Centre figure:
Insert the rear swash plate reversing lever in the chassis according to the drawing. The rectangular opening for the linkage
must be aligned to the left in flight direction. Place the front reversing lever against the chassis according to the drawing and
screw on the lever.
For a better overview, the assembly sketch only shows one half of the chassis. The front gear pinion is included
with the construction kit pre-assembled, so that no assembly work arises here.
The included gear pinion #B is already pre-assembled ex works, so that the assembly as shown in the sketch can
be dispensed with.
Lower figure:
Coat the two washers (3) with a little grease and insert the washers in the chasses according to the right drawing. Then
install the freewheel between the washers.
Important!
The freewheel label must point downwards!
After attaching the spacer sleeve (1), you can push the gear pinion into the mechanics from the side. Finally, the shaft is
pushed in from the bottom and the gear pinion is screwed to the shaft. The two grub screws then must interlock with the
prepared indentations in the shaft.
