Check that there is full and free movement
of tail slider assembly.
The slider must move on the shaft without
noticable force.
Now push one ball link onto the ball of
a tail blade grip and check for bind free
movement.
Minicopter ball links are traditionally a
tight
fi
t, this can be corrected, where as a
slack
fi
t cannot be corrected.
One joint should be mounted at a time
so that full and free movement of the tail
slider can be achieved.
If a ball link is too tight then gently squee-
ze with a pair of pliers on the outside of
the link until free movement is achieved.
This can be repeated several times until
the desired movement is achieved rather
than one big squeeze and over doing the
adjustment and ending up with a slack
link.
When happy remove the ball link and
connect the second link to the other blade
holder and repeat this procedure. Note
once the tail links are set up they should
not be disassembled without rechecking.
Now push the tail rotor with connected
links on to the tailshaft. Note that the
bladeholder joint bolts are located on the
trailing edge.
