Continue with the assembly of the rotor head. Degrease the hollow feathering shafts,
apply a small amount of Loctite and push them into the main rotor housing as far as
they will go (!). If it is difficult to push them in you can use a vise carefully. Please
ensure that the side with the smaller shaft diameter is facing outward. Remove any
excess Loctite.
Repair information: You can disassemble a bent feathering shaft after a crash with
a small hand vise or a pipe wrench. The needle bearings are usually crash-resistant.
!
Now slide the special blade holder spacer made of Delrin
(B-R09)
on the shaft. Apply a
small amount of lubricant on the feathering shafts before sliding the blade holder with
the pre-assembled needle bearings on the feathering shafts. It might be a little bit
difficult to move it on the shaft. This is normal and will cease after the first few flights
once the shaft has been polished in the area of the needle bearings. Subsequently,
the blade holder will run smoother, too. This does not have an impact on the flight
characteristics and may therefore be disregarded.
