Parts Required Bag #
6 #0133 Ball links (long) 12F
3 #0227 M2x42 Pushrods 12F
Refer to Drawing #12H
Select six #0133 ball links and three #0227 Pushrods. Install two links on each push rod, adjusting each until
approximately 26.0mm (if calipers are used, make them 25.2mm each) of pushrod is exposed between the links.
Snap each prepared pushrod onto each control ball on the outer swash plate ring and the corresponding bellcrank
below. Orient each ball link on each pushrod so each link is uniformly centered on its respective control ball.

A. Select four #0133 ball links and two #0337 pushrods. Install two ball links on each pushrod, adjusting each to
a length of 16.0 mm (exposed pushrod between each link). Snap each prepared push rod in place connecting
each Flybar Control Ball on each of the #0221 Washout Arms.
B. Select four #0133-1 ball links and two #120-25 Pushrods. Install two ball links on each Pushrod, adjusting
each to a preliminary length of 71.5 mm (exposed pushrod between each link) and orient each link
perpendicular to the other. Snap one prepared pushrod in place connecting to the #0109 ball (the position
farthest
from the blade holder) of the Bell Mixer with one of the two remaining #0109 control balls of the
inner swash plate ring. Repeat the process for the opposite side. More information will be provided later in
this text regarding the bell mixer ratio choices available on this model.
C. Select two #0135 ball links (short type), two #0133 ball links, and two #0313 Pushrods. Install two ball links
on each pushrod, adjusting each perpendicular to the other and with a gap of 1.5 mm. Snap one prepared
pushrod in place connecting the remaining outer ball (the position nearest
the blade holder) of the #123-26
Bell Mixer with the #0113 installed in the flybar yoke. Repeat the process for the opposite side of the rotor
head.
