Instruction manual

Section 13: Rotor head linkage
Before any pushrod adjustments are made center both sticks and servos on the
transmitter.
Section 12: Cyclic servo linkage
Before any pushrod adjustments are made center both sticks
and servos on the transmitter.
*Pushrod measurements include ball links from plastic end to plastic end.
Attach two 104mm pushrods to the short balls on the swashplate and to the short
balls on the bell mixers on the main rotor blade grips.
NOTE: For faster cyclic response in 3D you may want to change the bell/hiller ratio by
moving the A-arms from the washout assembly to the short balls on the inner star of
the swashplate and attach these 106mm rods to the longer balls on the inner star.
Section 14: Connect the electronics
Refer to the instructions for your transmitter and other radio components for the correct
numbering of channels before connecting . Plug in the switch, servos and gyro to the
radio receiver. Wrap the receiver and the battery pack with the proper foam protection
recommended by your radio manufacturer and secure to the top of the battery/receiver
platform at the lower front of the servo tray (use #64 rubber bands).
*Pushrod measurements include ball links from plastic end to plastic end.
Adjust the two aileron control rods to 158mm and attach the two balls on
the aileron servo wheel and to the two aileron bellcranks. Adjust the eleva
-
tor control rod to 135mm and attach to the elevator servo arm and elevator
bellcrank.
Section 15: Main rotor blade installation
Each rotor blade has 3 holes drilled in the root. Use epoxy to glue the plastic root ends
to the exposed wood pre-cut by the factory (15.1). Use the countersunk screws (15.2) to
secure the root ends to the blades and let the glue dry. Use the 2 M4x30 blade bolts and
M4 locknuts to secure the blades to the blade grips on the main rotor head (15.3). Main
rotor blades should have their leading edge turning clockwise.
