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).
