Start by installing the tail hub (18). slide it on the end of
the shaft with the indentations (not the hole, that is the wrong
side of the shaft) and align the screw holes of the hub with the
indentations of the shaft. Put a small drop of blue loctite on
the end of the threads of the long set screws (5), and screw it
through the hub and into the indentations of the tail shaft.
Slide the (8) bearings on the extended portion of the hub (18).
Hold the bearings in place by the nyloc nuts (6). Test the fit of
the bearings, if you find the bearings can be slightly moved back
and forth then file the end of the hub so the nut will be able to
go on far enough to hold the bearings in place. Next you need to
do a test fit of the blade grips. Install them on the bearing and
see if you can rock them side to side. If you can then the grips
are not holding the bearing tightly. Sand the inside half of one
of the grips until you get a solid tail. The next step is to
slide the sleeve (11) on the screw (3) then slide this through
the control link (19) and into the blade grip (16). Note: You
need to get the right orientation. Refer to the 2nd picture to
know which side the arms of the blade grips need to be on.
The next step is to install the two bearings (9) in the tail
pitch slider (21). Install a ball (28) and screw (4) in the side
of the slider. Next slide the assembly onto the tail pitch
control slide bushing (22) and thread on the tail pitch arm (20).
Make sure the part is threaded straight otherwise each tail blade
will have a different pitch. Also do not overtighten this part,
only get it just tight enough that the pitch slider (21) will not
move back and forth. If you get it too tight the bearings become
notchy and after spinning this way for a minute could become hot
and lock up. Next slide this assembly onto the tail shaft (23).
The side with the pitch arm (20) need to be toward the tail hub
you just installed. Next install the control links (19) onto the
pitch arm (20) using the two pins (13).
