Instruction for original style are at the bottom.
New type:
Install the bearing (7) in the tail case. Slide the tail shaft
through the right half of the tail case. The side with the hole
all the way through the shaft needs to be on the left. Put the
red tail gear together (24) and (25). Slide onto shaft with (25)
toward the bearing inside the tail case. Align the hole in the
red gear with the hole in the tail shaft and install the pin (14).
Use blue loctite on the set screw (29) to secure the pin in place.
Install bearings (10) into the tail pitch control lever (26).
Note, (10) are bushings in the 29BB kit. Slide the sleeve (12)
onto the screw (1) followed by the lever (26) and washer (15).
Screw this into the tail case while making sure that the ball on
the tail pitch slider (21 on the previous page) snaps into the
link hole of the lever (26). Next install the ball (28) and screw
(4).


Instructions for older type tail:
The original tail shaft came with the red gear already installed.
If you do have to install it yourself, then make sure you get the
right flange on the gear in the correct direction. The new type
is a different size so you can't build it backwards, however with
the original, you could end up with the sloped side of the flange
facing away from the gear instead of toward it like it should be.
The flange has a sloped side and a straight side, the straight
side needs to be out. This also allows the short side to go
inside the gear. As for the roll pin, there is no easy way of
getting it in (or out). Use some good pliers to squeeze the pin
so it will go into the hole.
