* On the Goblin Fireball, some areas to look for wear include:
- Tail belt
- O-Ring Dampers
* The most stressed bearings are definitely those on the tail shaft and the
thrust bearings. Check them frequently. All other parts are not particularly
subject to wear.
* The lifespan of these components varies according to the type of flying.
On average it is recommended to check these parts every 20 flights. In some
instances, based on wear, these parts should be replaced every 100 flights.
* Periodically lubricate the tail slider movement and its linkages as well as
the swashplate movement and its linkages.
* To ensure safety you should do a general inspection of the helicopter after
each flight. You should check:
- Proper belt tension
- All screws and bolts remain tight.
