7. General Notes on Mechanics Setup
Before starting to set up the mechanics, gather information on some important notes:
• Every model helicopter is only as good as its assembly. Therefore, assemble it carefully and precisely according to
instructions. Incorrectly or wrongly assembled model helicopters will not only fly much worse, they also pose a considerable
safety risk.
• Comply with the assembly sketches in the manufacturer’s handbook precisely for assembly. Also observe that some
components must be fastened with special threadlocker varnish (not included). The different assembly sketches use the
following symbols for this (also see manufacturer’s manual, page 5).
Screw connection with threadlocker varnish L
Screw connection* with threadlocker varnish L
Screw connection with threadlocker varnish T
Screw connection* with threadlocker varnish T
Application of threadlocker varnish T
Application of instant glue
Application of lubricant
Observe correct performance of each assembly section
Specifically observe correct performance of the assembly section
Correct compliance with the notes in the assembly sketches is of the utmost importance for function and
operational safety of the model.
* Because the operational safety of the model depends on these screw connections, pay special attention to firm connection/
screw connection of the components without overloading the screw material or component.
As threadlocker varnish „L“, you can use „Loctite 221“ with low hardness; as threadlocker varnish „T“, you can use „Loctite
243“ with medium hardness.
In practice, however, it has proven sensible to use medium-hard threadlocker varnish for all screw connections to be
secured. To be able to loosen the screws again for servicing, we advise against using threadlocker varnish with high
hardness.
