Instruction manual

C. Repeat step AB@ on the opposite end of the Head Axle. Tighten both #0086 bolts using two 4mm Allen

wrenches.

D. Slide one #122-11 blade mount into position on the bearing assembly and align the holes with those of the

aluminum retainer sleeve #0848-4. On the side of the blade mount with only one hole, install one #0060 M3 x

5 Socket Head Bolt. Only finger tighten at this time.

E. Select two Preassembled Pitch Arms from Step 1C and four #0061 M3x8 Socket Head Bolts. Study the

drawings and position the assembled pitch arms into the milled groove side of the #122-11 Machined Main

Blade Mounts. Using two #0061 M3x8 Socket Head Bolts on each arm. Use Blue Loctite. Note: The pitch

arm is a light press fit. Start to thread one or both #0061 bolts a few turns with a small amount of Blue

Loctite. Using a plastic tool handle or a wooden block, tap the pitch arm into place. Moderately tighten both

#0061 bolts in each arm. Remove the previously installed #0060 bolt, add Blue Loctite and moderately

tighten.

F. Temporarily install the two #0086-2 M5 Blade Bolts, two #0023 M5 Locknuts, and two #122-13 M5 Fiber

Blade Spacers.

Step 5: Assembly of the Flybar Paddles

Parts Required: Bag #

2 #0871-5 Sport Paddles 1G

Refer to Drawing #1G

Measure 22.0mm inward from each flybar end and mark with tape. The flybar is self-threading into each paddle

and the goal is to have each paddle level to the other and the flybar control arms. Note, if your chosen option was

to angle the flybar arms downward then the visual line for alignment will be a horizontal line drawn through and

connecting each ball on each #0307 control arm. A useful tool for aligning the paddles is the #0510-1 paddle

gauge kit. Slow CA glue or epoxy is used as a paddle-locking device, allowing sufficient cure time to simplify

aligning the component. Install each paddle as indicated and remove the marking tape. If all steps were accurately

performed then it should be evident that by holding the head vertical and releasing the flybar the paddles will

appear balanced. If not, then a small piece of vinyl tape can be applied to the “light” paddle. It is also possible to

fine-tune the balance by lightly sanding the tip of the “heavy” paddle.
